Dawn of the Super Jocks
Schaper Toys had a real hit in their hands in 1975 when they released “Super Toe Football” the first of their “Super Jocks” line of toys. So by 1978, it should come as no surprise that they had expanded into other events such as Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Hockey.

I know people in these photos and would love to find out—where did you get them?
