Thats how the cookie crumbles
I bought all my baseball cards at the neighborhood Utotem, I remembered the 1960 Leaf packs would break open easily because of the catseye marble inside the pack. The store manager would put the broken packs in a plastic bag and hang them on a hangar in the back of the store.I took advantage of this and thumbed thru the cards to find the pack I wanted.
On to the main reason for the post, in the back of my memory was recollections of getting some nasty cookie with some cards, after all these years I finally got around to looking up cards that came with cookies and discovered 63 Fleers came with a nasty crumbly cookie.
Fleer and Leaf were trying to get around the Topps monopoly with Marbles and nasty cherry cookies.
I'm sure, you guys already knew all this but though I would share my epiphany. Man, that cookie was nasty but I ate it anyway, I'm sure
Oh yeah, then theres the Dairy Queen statues that were given out with sundies, Seems I would always get an Al Rosen or Johnny Antonelli, just like I always got alot of Frank Malzone & Gus Triandos Armour Coins.
Happy Collecting
Jerry
