1990 Brewers Pocket Schedule - Miller High Life

Year: 1990

What: Brewers Pocket Schedule - Miller High Life ad.

I was recently contacted by Dennis over at Too Many Verlanders and he asked if I wanted some random Brewers cards.  I can't so no that so a couple days ago a nice think package arrived loaded with random Brewers cards.  There were a smattering of junk wax and some modern stuff, most of the card I already had in my collection, but there were a couple new additions.  But the cherry on top was adding a new Yount collectible to the collection.

I already had one of these 1990 pocket schedules and featured it here a couple years ago.  But there are multiple variations of the schedule with different ads featured in the middle panel.  This one happens to be the fairly common Miller High Life ad variation.  The schedule itself was in pristine condition looking like it was just put out for the taking.  A great addition to the collection.  Thanks again Dennis.

1991 Miller High Life SGA

Year: 1991

Manufacturer: ?? Miller Beer maybe

Set: Miller High Life SGA

Card Number: NNO

Card Type: Oddball, Base

Continuing with my COMC Black Friday haul a great oddball pick up.  Miller Brewing teamed up with the Brewers in 1990 and again in this 1991 set.  While the Standard Catalog doesn't state that this was a stadium giveaway, the 1990 set was and I would assume this set was also given away at a game.  I featured Robin's 1990 card back in 2017.  I have no idea what company actually produced this, but the quality and style are in line with the Brewers Police cards of the time.  Not a bad looking set with a nice clear photo on the front and full stats on the back.  The set has 32 cards and even has cards that feature manager Tom Trebelhorn and coaching staff.

1990 Miller High Life SGA

Year: 1990

Card Manufacturer: Miller Brewing

Card Set: Miller High Life Brewers Stadium Giveaway Set

Card Number: NNO (31 in a set of 32)

Card Type: Stadium Giveaway

The Standard Catalog states that this card was part of a 32 card set and collector album given away at an August Brewers game in 1990.  Interestingly enough I had read somewhere that the High Life name was actually a brand of cigars and that Miller bought the name to use for the beer. That was a long time ago and High Life is Miller's oldest brand still being produced today, it was also one of the first beers to be packaged and sold in individual bottles.  To be honest I've lost track of who owns Miller now.  I think MolsonCoors does, but that could have changed by now.

 In hand these are great looking cards for a SGA.  Simple design, but full stats on the back.  Gotta love that.  Plus it's beer themed!
