Often overlooked by collectors, Auravision Records are actual playable plastic picture discs measuring 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" and playable on a standard turntable.  Each of the records contains a full-color photo of the player with biographical and statistical information on the reverse.  Playing the record on a turntable reveals a five-minute interview with the player, conducted by sportscaster Marty Glickman.  The records were obtainable through a mail-in promotion conducted by Milk Duds and Meadow Gold milk, though large quantities of the records eventually made their way into the hobby, though for some reason the 1964 Willie Mays record was not as readily available and is considered scarce today.  Presented here is an attractive grouping of records, including three from the 1962 issue (one of Rocky Colavito, and two of Jim Gentile), and a complete set of 1964 records.  Outstanding visual appeal from a unique issue.  19 records total.
