Year: 1992
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: McDonald's Limited Edition Baseball's Best
Card Number: 17
Card Type: Oddball Food Issue
I love food issued cards, and these are pretty top of the line. Back in 1992 if you bought stuff at McDonalds you got a little cellophane pack with 5 cards, eat enough and you could eventually pick up the whole set. I don't remember this promotion at all, although I most likely was still living overseas when it was going on. The checklist really was a who's who of baseball's best at the time and if you collect a superstar from the early nineties he's probably got a card in this set. 1992 also marked a time when Topps was starting to use foil to make their cards pop and it's used in this set to highlight the limited edition and the players name and McDonald's logo.
A very nice looking card, but not overly rare, COMC has 7 with the lowest price being about 75 cents. It's also nice that this was a fully licensed product so we get logos and Robin's full stats on the back.
