What up with 1980 Squirt and K-Mart?

BobS

What exactly are these cards? I've seen graded 1980 "squirt" and 1980 "k-mart" baseball cello's, and never really understood where they came from.

Are they regular Topps cards? Are all the cards in the 1980 set there? If not regular cards, is "squirt" or "k-mart" printed somewhere on the back? Lastly, how many cards came in one of the cello's.

Thanks,

Cheers - Bob

I think 3 cards came in the cello pack. Usually they were so tightly wrapped, that the catds bent when opened. Yes you can pull a Henderson Rookie but it wont be perfect. Many of thes packs had bad corners. They were giveaways at Kmart when yoy bought a Icee drink.

Thanks - I found out myself that both the squirt and k-mart packs were 3-cards each.

Even at only 3 cards each - I think I did pretty well. These are for re-sale/giveaway at shows:

linky - approx $2 each - not bad for graded packs
