I was fortunate to pick up this Kroger Bread Indianapolis Indians card from a fellow member last year. I’ve been wondering, with Kroger being founded in Cincinnati 50+ years earlier, are there any Kroger Reds items of any kind that pre-date this set? Any Reds collectors have early Kroger pieces?

Kroger was a grocery store. I think they did their own baking, but it's curious that they would issue a promotional card for only that segment in that store. I suspect the names are coincidental and there was an independent Kroger Bakery in Indianapolis. Great card, BTW.

It just seems like Cincy would’ve had a sports promo before Indy.
