The strangest places...

I just got back from the grocery store. Safeway is a pretty safe place away from cards. No risk of accidently going down the card aisle and ending up buying a blaster of Documentary or other such foolishness. Bread, Milk, Pies, Pizza... you know... the necessities.

I pick up some grapes, apples, the peaches look horrid, so I go for a bag of oranges. When I get home, I find this inside the little mesh bag.
Upon opening, I find this inside.
What the hell is Matt Stajan doing inside my 5lb bag of oranges?
The back makes for a rather odd read......

Fruit trivia. Not exactly what I'd want on my card... but it's unique.
I also notice that there's 10 cards to this set. What chance does anyone have to complete this set? 50lbs of oranges later, with no duplicates? Yeaaaahhhh..... riiiiigghtt....
Could I even find the Jarome Iginla on ebay? I don't think so. What's next? Little cards in packages of tobacco?

I got a card of Mickey Mantle in a bag of oranges a couple of years ago. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that there are no hockey players in oranges in Atlanta.

Oh Great !

I live in Florida and we got no hockey cards with the oranges !

Maybe it comes with the package of back bacon here ?
