I think the hostess cards were licensed from topps.


The other big producer of small sets, mostly for point of purchase promotion was MSA.

Very interesting. Are there any off the top of your head where the front of the cards look exactly the same as the Topps issued cards? Like how the BKs look the same as the Topps issued?

And except for the logo, 84 Nestles. Which may all be sheet cut.


I had order forms for them, but it seemed expensive for a Topps set. The ads and order forms showed normal Topps cards.

I am not aware of any 1984 Nestle/Topps cards that were released in any way other than in the 132 card sheet. I have several of these sets that were "professionally" cut from the sheets post release, and while 2 of my sets are very nicely cut (better than Topps could in the early to mid 80s) the third is not quite as nicely cut (along the lines of a typical Topps cut job in the 80s).

Thanks all, keep ‘em coming. I’m super obsessed with collecting any Braves cards that looks like Topps. I’ll take a look at them!
