Wiffle box discs from 1978

I'll take a look to see if I can find mine.

I think there's a couple different types of sleeves too.

I know of two styles of two-card sleves, but they are both two-card models with a pitcher/batter combination.

I'd love to see a Carew from this set. It is one of the few cataloged cards that I have never seen of his. I was actually trolling the web looking for one the other day. I'd definitely pay at least a couple time more than the $6 value it carries in my 2010 Standard Catalog.

I've seen the sleeves selling for anywhere from $25 per sleeve to $60 per sleeve. Some would go higher

The ones I have seen on sleeves are:

Gullett/McBride
Carlton/R. Smith
Chambliss/Perry
Eckersley/Buckner
Fingers/Foster
R. Jackson/McGraw
Morgan/McRae
Ryan/Cey
Bench/Palmer

Several of those - considering the rarity and star power of Ryan, Jackson etc. would go for higher, the problem is they all have severe creases in them. Unless you found a pre-release version the best you could technically get is a "poor/good" condition.

It does beg the question, how would PSA grade something that was created with creases like that?

[FireGardy]

I imagine the discs would take a hit similar if not bigger than the one the Topps Candy Lids get with their built in crease topping out at mid-grade unless you somehow find a proof, and that's just with the tiny crease found on the Lids.

I haven't found them yet. What I recall is sleeves that were thin cardboard and some on corrugated cardboard. I think one -probably the corrugated- didn't have colored sides to the cards.
Somewhere I have one of each.

Now I've really got to find them and the boxes I have.
