this would be awesome. i count the cool-a-coo among my fondest dodger stadium memories - right up there with listening to vin scully on my dad's transistor radio, learning how to keep score, eating dodger dogs, seeing myself up on diamond vision, watching the likes of willie stargell and willie mccovey absolutely destroy baseballs during batting practice, and, of course, worshiping at the mantle of the infield of steve garvey, ron cey, billy russell, and davey lopes.

Do you know how the 1978 SSPC cards were issued? I'm familar with the much larger 1975 set but the 1978 has always been a mystery to me.
ReplyDeleteThey were issued in a magazine format, kind if like the 71 dell todays stamps.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. I remember cool-a-coo ice cream sandwiches, I hadn't thought about them in a long time...
ReplyDeleteAlso for some reason, I was thinking about SSPC cards today, the '78 Angels set came in a magazine that I bought at an Angels game. I can't remember much about the magazine, the cards were on single sheet and had to cut them. There's 27 cards, so I guess 3 pages of 9.
I especially like the '78 Angels I have because it is really the only Lyman Bostock card I have of him in an Angels uniform. the '78 Topps and '78 Hostess are touched up photos.
