I see him on one of the panels. The only baseball I ever "caught "at a game was a foul ball by Mike Tyson in the 2nd, round, Bush Stadium. People around me all stood up with their hands up, while I ducked down in my chair. The guy behind me stood on his chair, it hit his hands, dropped through the hands of others reaching for it, and fell in my lap. I still have it

Burger Chef, there's a name I haven't heard in a while. You're right, Hardee's did buy them out. Nice panels.

I can finally say that I have more of something than Al. I've caught two live game foul balls, and several batting practice home runs. Actually, I dropped a few of the batting practice homers and picked them up

The box could be assembled to make this ball park while you sat there eating your burger and fries.....

Carousel Snack Bars came out with these in 1976. I have 11 different, there are probably more, but they are pretty tough to find. I suspect a lot of the blank backed ones may be unstamped Carousels.

Is it possible to post all of the backs of your stamped Carousel discs? I'd like to see all of the locations that you have since you said you had 11 different ones. I try to get the Brooks ones when I can and it's nice to know all of the locations.

Here are the other backs I have. Please let me know of others you have that I do not have. Carousel is a mystery to me. There were apparently hundreds of stores, but very few were ever back stamped. How many do you have?

Here are all of the different 1976 MSA Carousel stamped backs that I have. I have serious doubts about the authenticity of the Louisville, KY #427. I think someone created a bunch of the #427's recently, there is a seller on eBay that has an endless supply of them. I have read that there are up to thirty different known 1976 Carousel stamps, even one from Alaska.
