A topic about oddball auto cards.

[FLOUR]

Remember in the 90s there were some oddball auto cards of retired players from brands like Nabisco and Ball Park Franks? I was wondering what other oddball autos there are not including cards from player sets like Front Row or Colla cards.

1995 Tombstone Pizza
This 30-card standard-size set features 15 of the hottest players each from the National and the American Leagues. One card was packaged in each Tombstone Pizza. Six thousand classic player cards, autographed by Johnny Bench, George Brett or Bob Gibson, were randomly packed. Collectors who pulled one of these autograph cards could receive an 8 1/2" by 11" certificate of authenticity through a mail-in offer. Also collectors could obtain the complete set by sending in five proofs-of-purchase. The limit was two sets per family or address, and the offer expired December 31, 1995, or while supplies lasted. The cards are numbered on the back "X of 30."

The Star Co started randomly inserting autogaphed cards in bagged player sets back in 1986 or 1987. The playing card sets from 1992-94 had a series that included random autographed cards. I remember seeing one of the Tombstone Pizza boxes with a sticker that mentioned random autographed cards of certain players. I think the 2002 Nabisco Ice Cream Bars had some boxes that mentioned random autographs of Chipper Jones or Alex Rodriguez.

The 1988 Star set included this Will Clark auto, I think they were out of 500 and sets of other players were created as well.
