NOTES:

These "Doubleheader" Baseball Player Picture charms were produced by Samuel Eppy & Co., in 1952. Eppy also made Movie-TV stars and in 1953 issued Hockey Player charms. The 7/8 inch diameter key chain vending novelties feature a black & white player pictures on both sides. The players name appears in script below or to the side of his portrait. A clear plastic casing covers the photo. The complete set consists on 31 unnumbered picture charms.

Dispensed in vending capsules the charms cost vendors $6.25 per 1,000, for use in penny machines. Eppy pitched the Baseball Player Picture charms in Billboard magazine: "Open a newspaper or magazine and pictures pop out at you. We are constantly looking at moving pictures and television. Children collect picture cards and trading cards"

The checklist for the unnumbered baseball player charms are listed in alphabetical order.
