Description

Since the 1880s, baseball players have lent their images and endorsements to a wide variety of products. Offered is a tremendous collection of player-endorsed Wiffle Ball boxes, spanning from the 1960s to the 1980s, including numerous Hall of Famers and stars, highlighted by Whitey Ford (the company's first paid spokesman), Roger Maris, Eddie Mathews, Thurman Munson, Pete Rose, and Ted Williams. Other notables featured are Jerry Koosman, Jackie Jensen, Tom Tresh, Vernon Law, Tim McCarver, Lou Piniella, Rick Sutcliffe, Ron Swoboda, and Mike Scott. This lot consists of the following (organized by box size): Junior Size (6 boxes): Ford, Koosman, Munson (including Hunter disc), Rose, Swoboda, and Tresh. All but one box includes the original ball. Little League Size (4 boxes): Law, Maris, Mathews, and T. Williams (includes original manual). Each box includes original ball. Regulation Size (12 boxes): Single-Player on Lid (6): McGregor, Munson, Piniella, Rose, Scott, and Sutcliffe.

Also included are two unopened Wiffle Ball packages, each with a paper-header at the top featuring two players (Ford/Mathews and McCarver/Tresh). Both in Fair condition. Total: 38 items (36 boxes and two unopened packages). The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
