Year: 1990
Card Manufacturer: Score
Card Set: McDonald's Baseball
Card Number: 25
Card Type: Food Issue Premium
I'm a sucker for food issue cards. The are my favorite oddball. If your a Yount collector this is probably one of the toughest food issues to find. Not impossible, just a little tougher to track down and due to it's scarcity it can get a little pricey (but not too bad around $10). According to the write up over at Baseballcardpedia.com these cards were available from 11 McDonald's stores in rural Oregon and Idaho and only given out for 3 weeks. Cards came as a give away from buying fries and a drink and you got 4 cards per pack. The full set has 25 cards and you can see the full checklist at the above link.
Overall the card itself if pretty handsome in hand. I like the color fade effect on the front of the card and there is a nice action shot of Robin on the front. There is also a nice large head shot on the back and full stats and Score still managed to squeeze in a great write up.
