Up for sale is a rare vintage 1977 Burger Chef Chris Chambliss Baseball Card Disc.  It is a great oddball collectible of this star first baseman and Yankee fan favorite. The front of the disc features a photo of the athlete and the rear features the Fangburger character.


The condition is "acceptable" which is judged to be "very good" in this instance.   Please read the description very carefully. Imperfections include surface scratches, indentations/dings, soiling and miscellaneous marks and discoloration/yellowing due to age, corner/perimeter wear and centering issues.  The perimeter has color loss near the tabs where it was detached from the team tray.


Despite its flaws, it would make a nice addition to the collection of any Chris Chambliss or New York Yankees fan or vintage "oddball" baseball card or memorabilia collector. Please see photos for more information.


This disc represents 1 out of the entire 216 disc set. It was originally part of the New York Yankees Team Funmeal tray along with 8 other player discs.


Burger Chef was a national fast-food restaurant chain, that operated from 1954 through to 1996. Second only to McDonalds in the number of restaurants nationwide in 1973, Burger Chef had 1,050 locations, including some in Canada. Burger Chef first introduced the “Fun Meal” for kids in 1974, five years before McDonalds introduce the "Happy Meal"


 The Funmeal consisted of a hamburger, french fries, soft drink, and dessert all served in a tray made from thin cardboard. In 1977 Burger Chef featured "Triple Play Funmeal" trays. Each fun meal box featured nine player MSA - Mike Schechter Associates discs, from one of the then current 24 major league teams in 1976. Reggie Jackson wearing an airbrushed Orioles cap was included with the Yankees, but did not play with the team until 1977. The 2⅜ inch diameter player discs, 216 in all, could be punched out to collect or trade. The discs made by MSA, are only licensed by the Players Association, so the team cap logos are airbrushed away.


The back of the discs feature Burger Chef cartoon characters which include; Burger Chef, Jeff, Crankenburger, Burgerilla, Fangburger, Mrs. Fangburger, Fangburger's Daughter, Burgerini, and Where Wolf.


 Instructions for assembling the game board which is inside the tray, and playing Rules are on the box. Base Runners, to be detached from the box include Fangburger's bat, Fangburger's son, Burgerini's Rabbit and Blueburger. The "Printed baseball from top of box" and placed on Home Plate, "and "blow 'em with a Straw into the scoring boxes."
