Please share your Food Issue premiums - cards and stuff

Stone193

Hi everyone

I would like you all to share your "food issue" premiums - especially cards of course.

I'm a fan of food issue premiums - cards, rings, booklets, visors etc. - I also like the non-sport items.

I just bought a 1954 New York Yankees Ward's Tip Top premium visor that's in pristine condition; had bought one recently but this one is perfect IMO.



I'm hoping we can keep this thread alive going forward. I would especially like to post on my Babe Ruth food premiums that I have immense fondness for - no one had as many food items as the Babe!

Great piece Mike! Looks like it was just made. What will you put it in to keep it looking so new?

Here's my fav by far. I've shared it before in other threads throughout the years.

The slab is too large to be scanned completely but you get the idea.

Thanx Matt

It was scanned in a top loader and will stay in one until I come up with something better.

1977 Wacky Packages Shedds Premium Cello Pack...it came in a big ol' tub of peanut butter!

Great idea for a thread and some really cool items shared already!

One of the best parts of being a player collector is collecting all the food issues. Here are some of my favorites....



1933 Uncle Jack's Candy, an obscure Rhode Island candy company. Foxx is the most key card in the set other than Ruth and this is one of only 2 copies slabbed by PSA (and the only red copy)



1962 Salada coin, distributed with tea.




Coke & Tab soda caps, 1965 & 66




1969 Glendale stamps, issued with meat, sometimes in perforated sheets, sometimes unperforated. Here is a complete perforated sheet, and a couple of Cappelletti singles and a Jim Nance hand cut from an unperforated sheet. The PSA 5 Gino is pop 1, none higher.




Kellogg's cereal





More soda goodness





King B discs, distributed in beef jerky. I have every Patriot ever issued.



1987 Wheaties mini poster



1988 Holsum Bread Patriots uncut sheet



1990 Jumbo Sunflower Seeds Bo

And of course my white whale, which I post about ad nauseum, is a food issue: 1969 Eskimo Pie Dale Livingston/Gino Cappelletti

A great thread. No doubt this one will have a long shelf life. The Tip Top Bread Visor is an awesome start to this thread. Dan the Uncle Jacks Candy Jimmy Foxx is outstanding. Here are a few of my favorites. Mike thanks for starting this thread. An all-time classic in the making.

Two bread cards




Although designated as an "E" card, these were given out as promos for cocoa. So it's kind of a pseudo food card.

If we are counting candy issues as food I have a couple of pre-war cards scanned from St. Louis collection! I have a bunch of modern issue too, I really need to start getting more of my stuff scanned.

Here's one ... I'm looking for a Dizzy in a 6 to pair it with..

That pose is money, Stanley. Now I know why they called you The Man.

Stone193

Wow!

What great stuff guys!!!!

Quaker Puffed Rice/Wheat ran a Ruth premium give aways in the 30s that was immensely popular with the kids:



You can see a really nice Ruth scorer with a belt - sort of a watch fob type thing:





I was lucky enough to find one in really nice shape sans the belt.

The Braves logo on his hat is the more common one - much rarer is the "NY" logo on the cap.

That tray of Stan the Man IS money....awesome!

Here are two from my childhood.

The first is the 1977 Pepsi Set and was the first non-Topps set that was added to the collection. Still have the set as well complete with the discs and gloves.



The second is the 1977 Burger Chef Tray of the Boston Red Sox. The depicted tray folds so the bottom image stands up and shows on the back while the upper picture shows on the bottom of the tray. I had a ton of these discs as we always went to Burger Chef.



Good times!

I love the Gold Medal Flour set! Nice Daffy! I plan on putting together a Cardinal team set of this issue. Good luck finding your Dizzy!!

Mike seems to have a knack for starting these kinds of threads


51 & 52 Wheaties - Just the first couple I had handy, I should have a lot more contributions for this

Grimster

This is the set that really got me into collecting. Ah the memories...

Im currently at #2 on the registry for it. Don't think it is worth chasing the #1 spot.

This one isn't mine, but I remember this set was all the rage among my collecting friends. For some reason my mom wouldn't buy me dozens of loaves chasing the Santiago card. Mitchell is the only one I ever had.

I sold it, but thought I'd share the scan from when I subbed it anyway:

This was a favorite of mine.

Mike, those milk duds boxes are awesome! Don't you have a couple more, if I remember correctly?

Thanx Dan. I only have a handful - I look for HOFers only.

Now, on the bubble gum scene - here's a favorite of mine:

Here are a few things I dug out of the closet from my original collection.



The hostess panels I proudly cut myself back in the day.
