One of the fun things about collecting Kenner items, especially around the Cincinnati area, is you never know where they are going to show up. I recently picked up a 1972 Cincinnati Reds yearbook and was surprised to find the above SSP ad hiding inside!
The 4 3/4″ tall x 3 1/2″ wide ad shows a hand pulling the “T” handle power stick on a Laker Special car and says:
Kenner is pulling for the Reds.
It also has the SSP Super Sonic Power logo at the bottom and the line:
The makers of SSP Racers the top selling boys’ toy of the year are pulling for the Reds – the team of the year!
It’s a fun little discovery that will have me combing through old Reds literature a little closer from now on!
Here is the full page and the cover of the yearbook:
