Under The Tree: 1999 Racing Champions MLBPA Superstar Yo-Yos Series 1
Posted on December 1, 2021 by sportscardinfo
Happy Holidays! Time to look back and remember some of those favorite sports related toys you received as a kid.
When I was in middle school there was a major yo-yo fad. Where it got started and how it began still remains a mystery. All I remember one day is that yo-yos began to popup everywhere. It wouldn’t surprise me if some teachers still have those confiscated yo-yos at the bottom of their desk drawer.
In 1999 Racing Champions (yes I said Racing Champions) known specifically for their die-cast race cars issued a set of MLBPA licensed yo-yos.
The set consists of (10) player yo-yos:
- Kevin Brown #1
- Ken Griffey Jr. #2
- Tony Gwynn #3
- Derek Jeter #4
- Greg Maddux #5
- Mark McGwire #6
- Mike Piazza #7
- Cal Ripken Jr. #8
- Ivan Rodriguez #9
- Sammy Sosa #10
Another set of baseball yo-yos was issued by Racing Champions. This set consists of the same (10) players. The images differ from Series 1, and use holographic foil. Instead of a solid color the yo-yo itself is transparent with glitter.
I believe Racing Champions even had some specially made yo-yos for the National Sports Collectors Convention. You rarely see these.
The Racing Champions brand is still around today. It is currently owned by the Round 2 Corp. They make models, die-cast cars, slot cars, and model train accessories.
