Baseball cards were first made to advertise EVERYTHING! not to plug myself here, but i just wrote an article on my blog about the history of baseball cards...just a thoughtTheHitKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819945751701697304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-77036547874849235552011-12-31T10:40:16.386-05:002011-12-31T10:40:16.386-05:00@NightOwl-Yes! those are the cards.

Never seen a sparkle one either. Good stuff, I dig the color of the cards, regardless of propaganda or commercial advertisment or telling kids if you drink Bud you'll be a great outfielder...LOL good post sirTheHitKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819945751701697304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-6839106651393941652011-12-30T21:09:39.581-05:002011-12-30T21:09:39.581-05:00Advertising may not be new in ballparks, but it is...Advertising may not be new in ballparks, but it is significantly more prominent than it used to be -- I think anyone can see that.<br /><br />As for other areas -- I can barely watch an NFL game on TV anymore and it's almost entirely advertising's fault.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-87230843716061815972011-12-30T21:01:11.924-05:002011-12-30T21:01:11.924-05:00This has gone too far though - I just watched Psyc...This has gone too far though - I just watched Psych the other night, and it had a blatant autotrader.com advertisement.

The 1950s cards that show the Shafer and Bulova signs at Ebbets Field are one example...the 1969 Johnny Bench card has ads in the background for local Florida restaurants...the 1971 Nolan Ryan has a very prominent RC sign in the background.<br /><br />Ads have been at the ballparks for a long time, it might just be that they've encroached more into the playing area than they seemed to.<br /><br />In my "real" job, part of what I do is locate the product placements in certain TV shows. Companies pay a lot of money for the feedback consumers give that find out whether those placements are actually being noticed.Chris Stufflestreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229983444919282224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-70697901319115819602011-12-30T20:14:26.791-05:002011-12-30T20:14:26.791-05:00I only notice ads when I'm watching TV and the...I only notice ads when I'm watching TV and they change one. I notice it most on Big Bang Theory. Every time they are sitting in the cafeteria the names on the sodas are changed to something a little bit off. A Sunkist soda becomes Sunmist or Pepsi becomes Pepso, usually just changing one letter but it is obvious what it really is.AdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.com
