Today I want to show an oddball set I acquired from a former boss of mine. His wife at the time was helping him clear out some of the extra clutter at their house and came across a bunch of baseball cards.. I've had these for a while but decided I should maybe show them off..
They came from Maxwell House Coffee.. I don't know if they were inserted in the can, or in a sleeve on the inside lid, or what.. But...
Toronto Blue Jays Team Photos.
There was a Base white set and a Gold Parallel Set. I have the whole Gold Parallel set.
There is a Header card as well, just stating Maxwell House Toronto Blue Jays 1977-1992. I heard there was also a booklet for the cards but I don't have that.
So here we go, the front shows a team photo. The back shows the players names and information on that season.
There we go.. That's the set.. As I mentioned, there's a white bordered set and a Gold Bordered set.. I have the gold.. I only have one card from the white bordered set.. I actually like the gold borders on them.
My mom was a big Maxwell drinker at the time, and I was collecting, so she actually sent in for the set for me, so I have the nice little binder that it comes in too. It is a great little set and would be nice if someone did one again.
ReplyDeleteNever seen these before, they're really nice. Maybe I'm seeing things but the 1990 team card looks like a painting and not a photo?
ReplyDeleteI like them. I don't have an extra complete set, but I do have some years left.
DeleteThey're all photos, though it does look a little different, eh?
got this set unopened never looked at it
