64.0. "Salada Tea Baseball Buttons" by DSSDEV::PIEKOS (Chimes of Freedom) Mon Apr 10 1989 12:37

    I've was going through some old stuff this weekend, and came across a 
    bag of Salada Tea Baseball Buttons (some football ones too).  Apparently
    they are from the early 60's (1963?).  Some of them are metal, others
    are plastic with a paper picture of the player on one side.  All are in 
    excellent condition.  Some of the players include Mantle, Yaz, Berra...
    My question is this:  Are they worth anything?  Does anyone know a dealer
    who deals with this type of collectable?

    Any info about them would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    John Pierkos

    Get a reference book at the local bookstore, library or card shop
    and price them based on condition.  If what you found, is what you
    said then your a lucky guy.  
    List them for us.  
    If you can't find ref. book give me a call I'll xerox the pages.

Thanks, I didn't realize the would be listed in a book (I found the them 
listed).  My grandfather used to work for Salada Tea, and gave me these 
buttons when I was just a kid.  They've been sitting in a box for the past
20+ years.  All are in great condition (very good to near mint).

Here is the list (quite long)

    I just came across two boxes of "FUN FOOD" collectors edition of
    baseball buttons 1984.  They are 1 1/4" dia with colored pictures of
    players of that year, on the reverse is a pin for attaching.  They come
    in three to a set in paper bags, 133 in each box.  Do these have any
    collector value? I never see them in any of the card shops, although a
    dealer wanted to give me $10.00 a box just to take them off my hands
    and display them in his store.
