MSA Disc Cards

[cardinalcollector]

Marc, very impressive collection. Are you aware of the 1981 Permagraphic Credit Card variations? Each can be found with the regular 3 digit card number, and with 125-preceeding it. Neither has been tough to find in my experience. COMC has an example of each available.

Thanks gentleman.

Marc - Thanks for sharing your collection.

Can you elaborate a bit more about the Carousel backs. Is this one printed back that was manually stamped by individual stores?

Also, I was seeing a lot of different colors on these cards. Was the color on the cards the same within a set or was it an assorted rainbow?

The carousel cards were rubber stamped on back with address/location, which would make them relatively easy to counterfeit. I have a few letter type variations I believe, leading me to wonder if "corporate" sent out the stamps or if the individual locations were on their own…OR..maybe I already have some fakes. I have maybe 15 or so different back locations.

I have most of the MSA Bench discs... graded and some still raw...

Pages 5,6,and 7 will show you virtually everything done by MSA of Lou Brock.

There is also a listing of all known Carousel backs.

Thanks to every one who provided input. Seems like some of you player collectors have already built what I was thinking of so good to know it isnt too challenging.

I found the MSA Customized, cup lid, and probably Red Barn Restaurant (both versions) to be the toughest.

Saga was a little tougher as I recall, but with Ebay, they all are attainable, and for not a lot of money.

I wasn't aware of this either. Now I'm gonna track down the other variation (without 125) for my Yaz collection. Thanks for the tip!
