In 1977 Royal Crown Cola issued a set
of 70, Major League Baseball Players
Association All Star cans. When you
collected all seventy,
1977 RC Cola
Cans you could take them to the RC
bottling pant, and claim an
"autographed" baseball signed by the
1976 winning All-Star Team. The
National League won, so the prize you
received was a baseball featuring the
stamped signatures of the 1976 National
League All-Star team, and a plastic "
Me and My RC" baseball holder. The base
is a green infield with all four bases.
All you had
to do is show them the cans. You
didn't have to surrender the cans.
The ball had 28 signatures of the 1976 NL All-Star team which included:
Dave Cash, Dave Kingman, Bob Boone, Tom
Seaver, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, César
Cedeño, John Montefusco, George Foster,
Al Oliver, Steve Garvey, Rick Rhoden,
Ken Griffey, Randy Jones, "Bake"
McBride, Bill Russell, Dave Concepción,
Ken Forsch, Tony Pérez, George "Sparky"
Anderson, Joe Morgan, Larry Bowa,
Woodie Fryman, and Dick Ruthven. Jon
Matlack, & Greg Luzinski on sweet spot
1, Steve Swisher, Mike Schmidt, on
sweet spot 2. The offer expired on
September 1, 1977.
Due to rarity and the lack of a sales history, the estimated value above,
for the 1976 All Star team autographed
baseball is based on similar premium
baseballs. The All star Baseball
without the green plastic ball holder
will have an estimated value of about
$35.-$50. in EX-NM condition. The
"Bleeding" or "shadow" of the ink on
the ball pictured is caused by a low
grade porous cover on the baseball,
causing the ink to seep into the cover,
before the ink properly dries.
Apparently the problem with the stamped autographs bleeding, was common with souvenir baseballs from
this era, but it could lower the value
accordingly. There are 1976 RC Cola All
Star baseballs that did not bleed. The
baseballs were manufacture by "The
Autographed Ball Company" who made
souvenir autographed baseballs for all
the teams. Founded in 1947 by
ex-Major League baseball player Dick
Culler the company Produced replica
team autographed baseballs for almost
70 years, before going out of business
in 2014.
