1976 Crane Potato Chips Discs

Number of Cards

70 disks in the 1976 Crane Potato Chips collection included 5 Cubs players

Size of Cards

The discs measured 3- 3/8 inches in diameter

Basic Features

Crane Potato Chips was a beloved local staple in northern Illinois, known for its excellent product. In contrast to other disks produced this year, these feature the word 'Crane' instead of four stars. It must have been more expensive to implement this change. They are the only ones who did so. The Crane Potato Chip Company, located in Decatur, Illinois, ceased operations in the late 1980s. MSA, which stands for Michael Schechter & Associates, collaborated with the Players’ Union to produce these collection. Other 1976 MSA backs featured: Buckmans, Carousel, Crane Potato chips, Dairy Isle, Orbaker’s, Safelon, Sweet William, Towne Club, and Wiffle Ball, along with some blank backs.
