more pages from the steve garvey oddball binder - this would be part 3

let's continue the trip through my steve garvey collection.  we are still in the oddball binder, which contains a number of, oddly enough, oddballs.

1977 pepsi glove discs and 1978 pepsi
here are the backs
i prefer coca-cola products (prefer is not a strong enough word), but i thank pepsi for putting these things in their 'cartons' back in the late 1970's.

now for some msa discs - starting in the upper left we have a 1976 isaly's, a 1976 towne club, a 1978 pepsi (removed from its glove), and a 1978 big t disc
it's hard to tell the isaly's and the towne club apart, unless you look on the back
i can't believe i didn't order one of those pepsi shirts!  then again, we were drinking shasta cola back then.

one more item for tonight - an uncut sheet of 1978 o-pee-chee cards, including garvey in the upper right
it's a darn shame that there aren't any variations on the sheet, although a young robin yount and don baylor's 1978 card are nice to have.  here are the bright and bilingual backs
buddy bell and bump wills are pretty well creased, but i don't mind.

I've always loved those MSA Discs. I've seen the Isaly's and Pepsi discs... along with the Crane, Holiday Inn, and Burger Chef discs. I wonder how many others are out there. How cool would it be to collect all of the Garveys (or any player for that matter)?

Sounds like one heckuva vintage challenge.

fuji, i count 27 different discs for garvey, ranging from 1976 until 1982. i have only about six of them (i haven't shown the 1981 blank back yet, and i also have the 1977 burger chef disc that i showed in a different post). some are pretty rare, like the fbi discs (not the federal bureau of investigation, but rather fbi foods - a canadian issue).
