Night Owl Cards

I claimed some cards from Baseball Cards Come To Life! awhile ago when he offered up most of the 1985 Topps Wendy's/Coca-Cola Tigers set.   I'm one Barbaro Garbey card away from the complete set, hopefully I can afford to add that this week. You know how demanding the Christmas shopping gets around this time.   This is a set I was only slightly aware of but it's got a lot of things going for it. First, it doesn't have just one sponsor but two and displays both sponsor logos on the cards! Second, it recognizes a specific team, the 1984 World Series champion Tigers. Third, it includes just about every player from that roster. It's a 22-card set. None of this present-day pretending that a team has 8 players and 2 of them retired 70 years ago.   For me, the set automatically slots into my top 10 food issues from the 1980s. As far as food sets go, the decade doesn't get a ton of thought from me because I was so obsessed as a kid with 1970s Kellogg's and Hostess....
