1977 Wiffle Ball Discs - CUBS

Number of Cards

70 disks in the 1977 Wiffle Ball collection included 3 Cubs players

Size of Cards

The discs measured 2 3/8 inches in diameter

Basic Features

These discs were located on the side of Wiffle Ball boxes, with three cards displayed outward and two cards facing inward. Although the copyright date on the discs is 1976, they resemble all other MSA discs. However, the Wiffle discs are smaller, with a diameter of 2 3/8", which is one inch less than the others. Another peculiar aspect of the Wiffle set is that the three Cubs included were not part of any of the food disc sets released concurrently. There are four distinct styles available. Ball boxes in Junior, Regulation, and Softball sizes each contained five cards. A fourth variant was a cardboard sleeve that packaged a bat and ball together, which included only two cards printed on the sleeve.
