Drew1122

I have some Baseball discs from 1976 that have a blank back but are hand stamped either from a mall in Madison WI, or Deptford NJ, are they Towne Club/does anyone know what set these fall into on the Registry ?? and where i could find values for them ?? thanks.........Andrew

They are comonly reffered to as "Carousel" discs, from Carousel Ice Cream.

I have several of Rod Carew from different stores around the country.

If you have any Carew's, get wit me.

edited to add:
These are not super rare. Top stars go for $4-$10 nrmt/mt.

I think on the registry these are the:
1977 MSA CUSTOMIZED SPORTS DISCS

Carew:

The MSA Customized Sports discs are actually stamped on the back with promotional materials for the MSA corporation to help other companies obtain discs specialized for their operation -- they are not blank backed. I have a Schmidt example -- but I think it may be at my home in Philly -- so I'm not sure when I can provide a scan. The blank back ones are something different -- I think they are just MSA discs -- but they are definitely not the customized discs, at least how PSA grades them.

I know that they are Carousel discs, but I dont think these are run of the mill, i had a guy buy my Richie Zisk copies from me about 2 years ago, he told me they were valued at like 40-60 dollars, EACH !! I sold them to him "raw" and he paid me a nice sum for them, but i obviously no longer have his contact info to ask him where he discovered the prices.....as i said before they are blank backs, and then stamped with either the Madison, WI mall, or the Deptford NJ mall info ......anyone ?!?!

Drew,
You didn't state that you knew they were Carousel on your first post. You asked WHAT they were????

Anyway, check Ebay for values. I have Carew's from about 8 different stors all NRMT/MT and I have
never paid more than $10. I have seen Rose and Aaron go for similar amounts.
Maybe Zisk is a tougher player? I would understand $40 if it was the Red Barn variety.

MS,
I would like to see a scan. I have Carew discs of all types and always considered the blank backs the "customized"
version and though the Registry listed the Carousel as customized. Becasue there are no listings for the
Carousel variety.

Drew, check out my disc page here to see if this helps:

Update:
I did find 1976 Carousel entries on the POP report for Ryan and Aaron.

My mistake on my very first post, dumb me looked at the back saying Carousel snack bars, LOL and I didnt mention that !! sorry.....ok heres what the backs that i have say, Carousel Snack Bars, Inc #588 69 W. Towne Mall, Madison, WI. 53703, or....#585 171 East Towne Mall, Madison WI. 53704......or #2760 1-A-8 Deptford Mall, Deptford NJ. 08096.......those are the three variety backs, im pretty sure i have a Carew one from store #588 at PSA as we speak, they seem to be on backlog ?? the 13 discs ive submitted with this backstamp (store #588) are going on 2 weeks there and still no progress, when an order i sent in last week, is being sealed??
anyway thats the info i have on the discs......thanks again.....Andrew
