So, do you have the Boog Powell poster? I�ve never even seen the Powell poster.

No and I've never seen it either, but I assume it's a similar pose to the postcard.

I�ve seen a picture of the Stargell and Clemente and they are the same pose as the postcard.

The picture is the same but the facsimile autograph is placed differently. I own the Stargell and I have seen the Clemente from another poster on this board.

Those have to be rare. Thanks for the information on the facsimile autograph being in different locations. If you have an opportunity I�d really like to see the Stargell. I can�t remember where I saw a picture of it in the past, but did see it before. I know Howard (hcv123) has a Clemente poster and has shown it in the past.

Day 125 (May 4, 2020 � 125)

Topps had a neat test or experiment with a new type of collectible; the candy lid. The 1973 Candy Lids set consisted of 55 different lids which were around 1 1/78� in diameter and were on top of a bubble gum product called Baseball Stars Bubble Gum. It�s a struggle to get these things in pristine condition since you had to pull the tab to get the lid off the small gum tub or bucket. I think they were relatively cheap to purchase; around $.10. What�s also pretty cool is on the back of the lid it pictures Tom Seaver and Carl Yastrzemski surrounded by a red star. Just one more thing concerning the candy lids in that the box that these lids came in was visually appealing; the box pictured Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron and Jim Palmer.

Good morning Mark,

I really like that '73 Candy Lid Brooks proof. Here is the box top you were referring to:

Alan, your post reminded me that in the inaugural year of the Baysox (1993), the company my father worked for (Nabisco) sponsored a day at the stadium. I tried to get as many autographs as I could in a little notebook. Here's the first page of that notebook. WJZ13 was there filming and somewhere my parents still have a tape of 11-year old me on the news standing in line for Brian Dubois' autograph.

The only slightly disappointing note is that I just missed (I think I was 2 back) getting manager Don Buford's autograph and I still haven't been able to meet him.
