After seeing the success Rainbo
Records had with the flexi record
technology by filling a 16 million disc
order for General Mills, in 1955,
Columbia Records developed "Auravision,"
a process of combining recorded sound
with printed matter. In 1962 Columbia
Record productions released a test
issue set of 8 premium Auravision paper
disc records. The transparent flexi
record was laminated over a paper
picture of a ballplayer. In 1964
Columbia produced a 16 record set
featuring baseball stars of the day.
The 33 1/3 RPM premium records were made available through special offers
by Yoo-Hoo, Milk Duds candy boxes and
Meadow Gold Milk containers. The
overstock premium records were
distributed by Sports Champions inc. that
were used as giveaways by a
number advertisers. In 1964, I received
the records from the Good humor Ice
cream man, and I like every other kid,
ran home to play it. You then had to
punch out the spindle hole, yet there
are plenty of records with the
punch-out intact. There were a large
hoard of factory stock stored until
they were let out into the collectors
market in the late 1970's -1980's.
The records contain a 5 minute player
interview with Sportscaster Marty
Glickman. The front features a color
player photo, accompanied
by a facsimile autograph, with
the player's bio and stats on the back.
The checklist below is in alphabetical
order by player followed by the
estimated value.
