When I saw these, I needed to have them. I was able to win a Listia lot for these two cards. The Johnson is for trade if anyone is interested.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Psssst, pass the Milk Duds
Have you guys ever seen these? In 1971, Milk Duds offered cards on their boxes. So in addition to a wonderful chocolatey caramel snack, you also scored a baseball card. Why don't companies do this now?

That's a big hell yeah on the Alex Johnson! Email me, we'll figure something out.
ReplyDeleteFood companies don't do this any more because of all the licensing hassle
ReplyDeleteWell in Japan a potato chip company called Calbee releases a baseball set every year (known as Calbee Cards by collectors) where you get two cards with every bag of potato chips you buy. I can only imagine how great and terrible such a product would be over here in the states.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to add more food cards to my Yankees collection. Those are pretty sweet.
