Oddball Food-related cards post!

[Greg Cleveland]

Time has come for it's own topic! Blame it on the Mootown Snackers thread. Food inserts go back to the Wheaties and Post cereal cards in the 50's and 60's, to Kellogg's 3D and Hostess box bottoms of the 70's, and on thorough the 80's and 90's, but seem to be a thing of the past. Post your favorites, or maybe some that you're willing to have available for player collectors. I'll start with a few that are in my Buckett. There'll be more to come!

1979 Hostess (Ozzie Rookie!)

1982 & 1983 Kellogg's 3D

2001 Skippy Derek Jeter 4 card set

I have tons more, so I'll be scanning for awhile.

I'm remodeling my card room office, so I don't know where my stuff is exactaly. Does someone want to post the difference from the Hostess and Twinkie versions, so everyone knows. Since it is a food card relateted post I figure it should be included.

This kid knew how to cut them out. The black line border was showing on all of them.
