There’s something to be said for sports memorabilia that somehow sneaks out the back door without facing the indignities of traditional distribution, handling and ultimate molestation by eager youngsters concerned more with gulping down burgers than gazing at the box they came in. With that introduction comes this startling stack of nearly 100 as-issued 1977 Burger Chef “Trays” in their original boxes, with each Near-Mint to Mint or better example sporting nine MLB Discs that were designed to be punched out of each tray for all 24 Major League Teams. The 2 3/8-inch in diameter Discs feature all the major stars and Hall of Famers of the era, with the 98 apparently untouched trays representing a whopping 882 players in all, starting with the complete set of 24. With numbers like that you just know there’s a pile of duplicates, so here goes: (For each club listed, there are five additional Team Trays, (with exceptions noted) – Rangers, Reds, White Sox, Braves, Yankees, Tigers, Cardinals, Pirates, Orioles, Indians, Astros, Twins, Cubs (6), Royals (6) and Red Sox (4).
