I read through it, and then I was in the set earlier today, and noticed some of the players were missing teams (and shame on whoever validated the set without all the teams being populated!). Anyway, one of the points of the post is that the years on these 2 wiffle sets are being disputed (the claim is the set called 1977 - and is cut out from the boxes - should actually be 1976 and this set - with the inserted discs - should be 1977).

So, I went hunting for the players without teams at the usual places to find images, and then decided to check baseball reference in the cases where the players hadn't changed teams in the late 1970s. I know that some of the players did, so I left them blank since I don't know for sure what is on the disc. Then I pulled up Ellie Rodriguez, whom I didn't remember. And now I see why. But more importantly, he didn't play in the majors in 1977. So it would be very odd that he would be included in a 1978 set, especially since he was playing in Mexico in 1978.

So, I leave this out there for the rest of the membership to ponder and debate.

ArmourPhil was very deatailed about the dates, but it was confusing. Now that SCD and PSA are listing the discs as 1978 and the cut out cards as 1979 it seems like that should be the dates but the addition of Ellie Rodriguez in the discs seems off. I just checked PSA's site and he isn't listed in the master set. Is it possible that our listed set is incorrect? PSA has only 81 cards on the checklist and we have 88 cards.

Could the difference of 7 be those without teams?

Is this an update to what was previously found on IR's 88600-88602?
