I ran across this card on eBay and hadn't seen this small set before. I would have thought that MLB would has ceased advertising with liquor companies long before 1996 but I guess not.
This Willie Stargell example is one of the six card set which also includes Ernie Banks, Brooks Robinson, Billy Williams, Frank Robinson and Rollie Fingers.
For $21 shipped, I couldn't resist another Stargell autograph for my set. Other than a 1978 Topps, all of my Stargell autographs are from similar sets from the 1990's.
Hillshire Farms from 1999.
Nabisco from 1993.
MLBPA from 1996.
I'm always surprised that these cards go for only $15 - $20. The cards themselves aren't spectacular, and they're often signed in black, but for a certified, deceased Hall of Famer, they're a pretty good deal. Even the Don Drysdale card from the 1993 Nabisco set was less than $30.
