Any info about 1993 Kellogg's/Costacos posters?

[zyceoa]

I stumbled across these and noticed some inexpensive cool looking posters for Ken Griffey Jr, Nolan Ryan, and Reggie Jackson. Also there appears to be a card version that could be cut from boxes. I can't find any info on these or how they were distributed and wonder if there any other players in the set. I'm also curios about Cosatcos designed baseball cards (not posters) in general, if any exist. I know there are some Costacos football designs from early 90s Skybox brands.

Should there be a picture attached?

I vividly remember buying an unlicensed “card” of the Bash Brothers poster at a card show as a kid and with the number of unlicensed cards that were cranked out I’d be shocked if other posters didn’t end up on cards in that manner

They were in cereal boxes, for some reason I am thinking Frosted Flakes.

Costaco Brothers had little 4x6 samples for each of their posters and they had a blank back. They were popular so they put out a postcard set in the early nineties as well. The fronts were the same but the backs looked like a typical postcard.

Of course you'd have those.

I pulled the scans from the internet, but I do have the ryan and Jackson. I don't think I have Griffey or a box. I have a fairly good size cereal box collection though!

Around the same time, there were Penny Hardaway, Alonzo Mourning, Shawn Kemp and Patrick Ewing posters for basketball, I think that was it.

I miss getting things inside or on food products. They sometimes do it, but it is rare these days.

I have this Griffey...saved it from my old room several years ago. If I remember correctly, mine has 2 small pinholes in the upper corners from when it was hanging on my wall.

Pretty sure mine were plucked from the cereal boxes, but can't recall for certain. I do remember getting a handful of Kellogg's cards back in the day.
