NOTES:
 
   Founded in 1941, Hartland Plastics produced the 18 classic statues of star Major League baseball players from 1959 to 1963 when it was then purchased by the Revlon Cosmetics Company. Revlon decided to stop the production of the sports figures to solely concentrate on cosmetic perfume cases and containers. In 1987, Dallas attorney William Alley secured the rights to produce a commemorative set of the original 18 players. In 1988 celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the original release, the full series

 In 1990 Hartland created six new statues; Roberto Clemente, Lou Gehrig, Dizzy Dean, Whitey Ford, Bob Feller and Ty Cobb. They were scaled perfectly to display with the original Hartland Plastic baseball player statues. The new line of figures were authorized for a production run of 10,000 for each player, but only two of the figures ever reached that mark: Whitey Ford and Roberto Clemente. Lou Gehrig and Dizzy Dean each reached a production of approximately 600.

 Ty Cobb had a finished run of only 45, leaving Bob Feller, with 25 units produced, as the scarcest of the modern Hartlands. The main reason for the limited production of the new Hartland statues was the mysterious (and still unsolved) disappearance of company owner William Alley while on a business trip to New York. The two piece figure that depicts Ty Cobb sliding into a base, came in a thick stock green cardboard box, and included a watercolor mural of Ty Cobb "The Georgia Peach" on the front panel.

 In August of 1991 Bill Dunlop purchased the Hartland name, and had announced he would try and make good on all the orders that Alley hadn't filled. Dunlop formed U.S.A. Hartland incorporated and accepts advanced orders for Nolan Ryan, Cy Young and Honus Wagner statues. USA Hartland was then purchased by Steven Manufacturing and moved the to Hermann, Missouri.
