You heard me. Humpty Dumpty.
These were small cards, individually wrapped, and placed in bags of Humpty Dumpty potato chips during the 1992 and 1993 seasons.
All of these cards are still wrapped in their little cellophane envelopes, but my scanner wishes that to remain a secret.
Most of the bigger names were missing from these partial sets, but a few were left for the showing.
This, Bruin fans, is the Little Ball of Hate. Not that sham punk 4th line imposter on your team.
The backs are simlar to their baseball counterparts, except they are not numbered. The checklist lists them by team alphabetical team name.
Uhhh....... what? No mention of this card anywhere online. So either there were unannounced variations (besides inverted) or someone screwed up. The checklist also lists players from the Minnesota North Stars, but the pictures depict Dallas Stars sweaters....
All told I received 15 of the 26 hockey players in Series 2, and 22 of the 50 baseball players, with duplicates of Mark Grace, Robin Ventura, and Benito Santiago.
Who knows if I'll ever finish these ones....

I've heard about those inverted cards but have never seen any. Thanks for sharing.
Those have a little bit of a Pro Set look to them. I wonder if they produced the set.
I have a Roberto Alomar in my sample collection but have never been able to find Sandy for my Tribe collection. I would also like to find Jim Abbott.
Is the inverted one going on ebay?
I may have to bid.
I've heard of goalies standing on their heads, but never a catcher. Sweet.
I'm not sure what we could work out for them, but I wouldn't mind having one of your extras. Any interest in some Japanese cards for one of your Canadian cards?
I will second the "luuuuuuuuuuuuuc". Big game tonight - hopefully mcsorely's stick is within regulations. Go kings!
