Who had one of these?

I had the one pictured in the initial post of the thread, and from what I remember, it was plastic and it had stickers with team names on them. The team names weren't part of the doors. Mine must have been made later since the red one has the Seattle Pilots listed as a team which I didn't have a sticker for since they didn't exist by the mid 70s when I got my card locker.

That's correct, the one that I posted in the OP was from the late 70s. Here's it listed in the 1979 Sears Wishbook.

Incidentally, there's a great website called WishbookWeb.com where they've digitized lots of old Christmas Catalogs from Sears, JC Penney and others. It goes back to 1937.

My friend had several but I never had one, so I bought a couple this past year.

I didnt, but I certainly had friends that did. Those were common sites when trading cards at buddies' houses as a kid in the 80s. However, I did have a similar case that held He-Man action figures. Hahaha

I had a round plastic "baseball" shaped locker as a kid in the late 80's that came probably from the local Roses store (discount retailer and basically our version of Walmart in NC before they were widespread). Funny enough I can't find a picture of it online. The outside of the baseball had red stitches and everything and perhaps the MLB logo. There were stickers that came with it for the team names, and the same similar shelves inside and you assigned each space a team. It closed with 2 plastic snaps. This thing of course was murder on corners if you put cards in it and took it anywhere for 2 days in a row, and this was something that struck me even as an 11 year-old with '87 Topps cards. I didn't use it for long, finding discarded shoeboxes much more practical.

Good memory, though.

Out of curiosity, was this the one you had as a kid?

Ha! Yes, that exact one. I should have checked eBay, they have everything.
