Meet the Metz

Do you like oddball sets?   If so, this should fit the bill.  It was issued by the Metz Baking Company in 1993.

This nice tin came with forty cards.  I'm showing the fifteen Hall of Fame players.  Not sure how they were executed but the images are well done.  The design is just ok.  At least there are two background colors.  Four would have been better.  Of course they lack logos.  If you collect any of these players you'd probably want a copy.  The backs are lackluster so I've included them at the end.

    I feel like I've seen these before, but not sure where. I'd love to hear how a baking company decided to sell a set of cards distributed in a tin.

      The Griffey reminds me of those cards where you had to guess the player. Remember those?

    I gotta say, if Gallery cards looked more like these I'd probably be more interested in them. Cool looking set!

      They're not bad. Imagine them with logos and a better background.

    I've seen a few of these before, but never knew that they had been distributed in tins.

      I saw them on eBay on individually wrapped form so I assume they were also distributed in some sort of baking product.
