Just imagine if there was a Rickey in this set!

롯데 쵸코파이 -야구선수카드-

I'm gonna have fun trying to work out the checklist for these. Apparently they were included with Lotte Choco Pies (think moon pies) years and years ago.

Korea. I'm trying to compile a checklist for the 1991 Lotte Gum Baseball Kings set from Korea, and ran across this weird set. Who would pick these players for a Korean edition of a Topps set?

Ken Forsch
Dave Palmer
Joey McLaughlin
Tom Hausman
Bob Welch
Dave Tomlin
Vida Blue
Glenn Abbott
Gary Serum
Jim Slaton
Bruce Sutter
Ron Davis

I want that Bruce Sutter. Does this set actually exist anywhere, or do you think everyone in 1980 Korea who got them threw them away?

Is that actually the complete set, or just selected cards from the set?
They're pretty cool. I like how the players' pictures are identical to their regular '80 Topps cards, but the backs are totally different.

Not really sure. The post mentions something about cards 1-12, but I can't see any numbers on the backs, and the player selection is so bizarre, I have trouble believing that would be the whole set.

This has nothing to do with the baseball card set, but here's an article about how chocolate pies have essentially become currency in North Korea. Pretty fascinating stuff: Choco Pie Withdrawal: North Koreans Crave Favorite Treat From South | TIME.com
