1991 Post #2

















Card Review:  8.8  This card is one that eluded me for a very long time.  I actually acquired an uncut sheet of this card before the actual card.  Once in hand, it's very a nice card, at least as far as cards from cereal boxes go.  I like all the red, and there's a decent attempt at putting stats on the back.  I've often seen this listed as "Post Canadian," which makes sense due to the French.  I'm guessing the player selection was different in Canada than it was in the United States.  I know my brother and I ate obscene amounts of Post raisin bran chasing these things, and we never pulled a Wallach (I don't recall even thinking he was in the set).  It stands out in my memory because we preferred Kellog's Raisin Bran (well, actually my brother and I preferred Frosted Flakes and Captain Crunch, but that didn't happen on school mornings, or any mornings at all for that matter in my house).  But when Post had baseball cards, we suffered through it.

1992 Post #5
























 Card Review: 3.5  I'm not sure this qualifies as a card.  What I'm calling the front certainly looks like one, but the back is some sort of pop-out thing.  It may even have a pull-tab to make it move.  I can't really tell without opening it, which at this point I'm not willing to do.  Though my scan may not show it, it' is signifigantly smaller than a standard size card.  It's size is slightly bigger than the Topps Mini-Leaders cards, but smaller than the standard issue.

I don't remember ever seeing these in boxes of cereal, and the presence of French suggests this was likely a Canadian only issued product.  My brother and I ate a ton of cereal as kids, and had these ever been stuffed into boxes of raisin brand, we would've known about it.

1991 Post Cereal Uncut Sheet






This is an uncut sheet of two 1991 Post Tim Wallach cards. I vividly remember when these cards were being put into boxes of Post Cereal as a kid.  I never pulled a Wallach.  We always had Raisin Bran my house and once in a great while my brother and I would get to add a box of Fruity Pebbles to the cart, so I acutally ended up with quite a few cards from this set, just no Wallach.  To this day I don't have a Wallach from this set, just the uncut sheet pictured above (an ebay acquisition).
