156.0. "1990 Score/Pepsi Red Sox Cards" by SMURF::BREAU (Reagan's astrologer for President!) Fri Jul 20 1990 12:57

    
    For 2 or 3 months, Pepsi is offering a 20-card Red Sox set, but only 1
    each to a 12-pack of Pepsi or Diet-Pepsi.  It's done in conjunction
    with Score, and the cards are damn nice for a commercial promotion.
    They are similar to earlier Score issues (I) in look and quality.
    
    They carry the Pepsi and Score logos, and best of all, the players do
    not have the Red Sox logo airbrushed out of their caps, as in many
    commercial card promotions.   Given that a 12-pack of Pepsi goes for $3
    *on sale*, I figure that this is going to be an unusually difficult set
    to complete.   Anybody else seen them yet?

156.8REFINE::ASHEI thought it was a BoNO's commercial...Mon Jul 16 1990 12:392
    My roommate got a Jody Reed card... so there's more than 2 players
    in circulation..
156.9I got a BoggsJETSAM::BIGGSMon Jul 16 1990 13:479
    
      I picked up a 12 pack the other day and got a Boggs card, so make
      that 3 more cards. 
    
      Does anyone know Pepsi is going to provide a way of getting the set
      other than buying 12 packs? Maybe a mail in offer?

    RE .13.........John, I'll trade you a Geddy for anyone.  I know
    	that they didn't do batboy cards so an even trade might be
    	tough, but I do have an extra one.

156.18Yea....but...ENGINE::MACFARLANETue Jul 24 1990 09:304
    
    John, PLEASE!  I'd even throw in a 12-pack of Diet Pepsi
    and a guided tour of Worchester, Mass....birthplace of
    Rich Gedman.  You could see "From Little League to Legend".
156.21my 3 cent silvers' worthHURON::BRADANESETue Jul 24 1990 12:0511
    
    I'm not too sure I understand this at all.
    12 cans of Pepsi for $3.00.. 
    If my math is correct, that would be .25 cents a can.
    Vending machines get, from .50 to .75 a can.
    Seems like a good deal if you like/drink Pepsi.
    
    1 Red Sox card included..  FREE?   $3.00? $80.00?   ;>)
    
      have a nice day?

    I have not seen any thing pertianingto any such thing were are you
    people located that are buying these card?  I would like to get
    some.  Are they in some kind of special stand or are the boxes labeled

    Here in the S.F. Bay area, Pepsi is doing Canseco cards. Just Canseco
    on several different cards, and he's wearing an unmarked uniform (it
    has a number ) with a Pepsi logo hat.
    
    I'll try real hard not to make any editorial comments...8^)

    I now have an extra Dennis Lamp if anyone would like to trade
    with me for it.  What a drag it is to open a new 12-pack only
    to find you already have the card you just got.........

    I've bought several pepsi 12 packs this summer and no cards have fallen
    out.  I'm in Knoxville, TN.  It's just as well, they'd probably be
    Braves cards.  In fact, that's probably why pepsi isn't doing it.

156.29How many more to go?ZEKE::GARANTFri Aug 10 1990 17:577
    I didn't see anything special when I was in Memphis last week. I
    consider myself fortunate to have an Evans and Pena out of the two I've
    bought. 
    Will this set be worth more than my 1972 set? (less 44 high numbers)

    I bought a Pepsi-Pak at the Hudson Victory and got a Greenwell.  Maybe
    certain stores have certain players.  Has anyone completed this set
    yet??

    extra Boggs' and an extra Tony Pena for trade if anyone can help me
    out
