This past Saturday, the Rays broke out their "Faux-Back" uniforms and took on the Giants who wore their 1978-82 orange road uniforms. I decided to make a 1979 Kellogg's Card That Never Was for Evan Longoria.
Since these are fake throwbacks, I don't have a card to compare, but here is the cereal box, instead. It was Kellogg's 10th year of inserting 3D cards into their cereal boxes. Their sugary cereal was still begged for by card-collecting kids. They looked forward to finding Pete Rose, George Brett or Reggie Jackson among their Frosted Flakes while watching Scrappy Doo on Saturday morning before heading off to Little League. 
I like it. It's nice to see customs of Rays!
ReplyDeleteReally liked your recent post on Rating the Rookies. How about a full sized 1965 Topps card for Petrocelli?
