    Tunahead, how did you manage to get that without any paper loss on the Ripken disc? It's in fantastic shape for the issue... >>



    Bought it off ebay like that, the scan makes it look a little better than it is, if you hold it and the right angle in light you can see a little residue from the glue, but it's definitely one of the nicer ones I've seen.

    I don't know if inspired is the right word, but this thread has to be the reason I picked up a couple of Mattingly discs

    1988 MSA KEY FOOD DISCS
    1988 MSA TETLEY DISCS
    1988 MSA WEIS WINNERS DISCS
    1989 MSA KEY FOOD DISCS
    1989 MSA SUPER STARS DISC
    1989 MSA WEIS WINNERS DISC

    And any uncut squares.

    I know some of these are very tough based on the above comments but if anyone has one, I'd be grateful. Thx.

    got this in the other day to complete the disc run!! yes they do exist and 22 years later I have my first copy of it!! stole this in a lot of cards for $12.. I would have paid more for just the disc alone.

  • Did this person have any other Our Own Tea discs? I only need the 1989 Our Own Tea Dale Murphy to have all the 88 and 89 Murphy's. Yours is only the 3rd disc total I have seen from this set in ~15 years of looking. Great find!

    I asked the same question of the seller since they were selling lots of most popular players but they responded that they didn't have anymore of these discs.. best part was I would have never known because there was only one 9 card scan of the lot for sale and if this wasn't in that one scan I would have never even looked at it. I got the lot for $12 and needless to say the seller had no idea what they had with just this disc alone.. I would have paid double that or more for just the disc!

    I just got graded a 1988 Weis Winners and 1988 Key Food disc cards of Mike Schmidt. These are so rare that they are the first of any cards from the entire set ever graded. e.g. 12 years of grading, and no other 1988 Weis Winners and 1988 Key Food disc cards have ever been graded. I was so happy to find them.

    Still looking for a 90 SuperStars Disc and square..... Griffey of course...
    As far as the squares go there is an offer for a poster sort of like the
    King B , Jimmy Dean and Mr Turkey and these are cut from them and sold
    as a proof but incredibly neat and odd and thats how I like it....

    OK as I am snowed in to the tune of about 18" of fresh powder on top of about 30"
    I have had some time to kill........
    Looking at what I called an offer poster its actually a calender for these issues.
    I also looked at a saved image of the superstars disc and I guess this would be the 91 Tetley
    issued in the cans of Iced Tea? Plus it says 4th annual and the 90 issue says 3rd either way I
    still need both image

    I'm going to bump this silly thread. An Ellis Burks collector on another message board just got the Tea Disc Fever!

    For anyone that is still looking for their guy - this guy on FCB just posted some 1988 and 1990 Tetley panels.

    Silly Tea Discs
  • I recently came upon a bunch of Weis Market "Winners" Tea Discs in a large lot of cards I purchased. I was curious about them since I had never seen them before and came upon this forum while doing some research. I hoped that by reviving the thread perhaps there would still be some interest out there.

    The lot includes several loose 1987 and 1988 player disks but the really cool part is that there are eight unseparated full three disc panels (two player discs and a mail in rebate disc) from 1988 and twelve from 1989 which includes the complete twenty card set!

    I am going to be putting these cards on the market eventually but I am debating whether or not to send them in to PSA to get them graded first. Only a couple of the 1988 discs have been graded by PSA or SGC and not a singe one of the 1989 discs have ever been. I am also trying to determine if there is more value in keeping the 1989 set intact since by the looks of things it might be one of the only ones out there or if I should split it up and sell the panels individually. From my understanding these discs have considerable value for the Master Set collectors if they get added to the registry since they are very hard to come by. It seems, however, that the process to get cards added to the PSA registry can take months and is quite expensive since the panels are considered over sized cards. While I found one of the 1989 panels (Puckett/Davis) sold last fall on ebay (ungraded) for $95 there was a Clark/McGwire panel that sold for $25 earlier this year. The first would support grading... the second would not. Would grading them really add much value?

    If anyone out there has any suggestions or additional information on this series you help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Well, from a set builder's point of view, I say do not break them up. I have a couple of uncut sheets I purchased back in the day, but a PSA graded set is awesome!

  • Christian,

    I'm interested in the Puckett's. I'm actually the one who bought the one you referenced on eBay for $95. I personally wouldn't have been more influenced in one that was PSA graded. I'd love to buy the Puckett's so please let me know if you want to work something out for them.

    Thanks, Jeremy
  • Jeremy,

    Email me so I have your contact information. I will touch base before the Puckett hits the market.

    Looks like these things have been coming out of the woodwork. Here were three Schmidt discs auctioned off on February 8th for $22.99.

    ...and here was a 1988 Tetley Will Clark sold on March 4th for a whopping $1.00.
