combination of upc's from Nabisco products (Chips Ahoy, Ritz crackers,
Oreo's, etc)...
Mmmmmmmm, Oreo's.... :-)

With all due respect to the tragic event of the weekend, buy as many
Drysdales as you can.

| There were 2500 Drysdale's autographed and they will be sold as if
nothing had happened.

| If you are refering to the NABISCO offer. They are sold out of
Drysdale. My brother works for them and he couldn't even get 1.
|
| 566.6 | Sold-out! | POWDML::GASPARONI | | Wed Aug 11 1993 13:46 | 7 |
| Figures that even the Scum-bag dealers have infiltrated the Nabisco
Promotional headquarters and scooped up all the Drysdale's autographs.
How could this happen? There is no way that they distributed all
2500 that fast. People can't eat that many cookies that fast. Some
dealer like Gerry Elis (Building 19 3/4 fame) must have come in there
and bought out all the auto's for a good price. I can't imagine the
people who work there even know who Drysdale is, so what do they care.

| 566.7 | | ROYALT::ASHE | Noone loves me but my mother... | Wed Aug 11 1993 15:14 | 2 |
| Think so? 2500 for a national FREE promotion? I wouldn't think it
would take very long...
|
| 566.8 | Free? | POWDML::GASPARONI | | Thu Aug 12 1993 08:55 | 7 |
| First, its not free, $5.00 plus 5 UPC's, and those cookies go for about
$2.00 per box. So thats about what the autograph is worth anyway when
you figure postage and running back and forth to the store and buying
the stuff. To be sold out during the first month of the promotion
seems hard to believe to me even if its a National Promotion. Somebody
got in there and scooped them up. Anyway, looks like Brooks Robinsion
will be my choice now.

| 566.9 | | AWECIM::MCAULIFFE | | Thu Aug 12 1993 09:44 | 10 |
| I think it's $5 plus 2 UPC's. Also, I thought they had 5000 autographs
of each player, including Drysdale.
Not sure where I heard this, but I thought they were going to limit the
Drysdale card (and any of the other 4 or 5 cards) so that more people had
a reasonable chance to get one. Anything like this listed on the boxes??
I'm also pretty sure it said that if they were out of the player you
requested, that they would substitute one from the remaining list.

| 566.11 | 2500 is the count. | KAOS::STOLL | | Thu Aug 12 1993 15:43 | 4 |
| According to my brother, who is a marketing rep for NABISCO, the
count on Drysdale was 2500. If you sent in for Drysdale and you
were not lucky enough to be 1 of the first 2500 requests, you will
be sent a substitute selected by whomever opens your letter.

| 566.12 | a freebie | CSSE::LEONHARDT | | Thu Aug 19 1993 12:22 | 7 |
| Buy my wife's book - "Parents Who Love Reading Kid Who Don't - how it
happens and what you can do about it" and I'll get it autographed for
you FREE!

| According to an article in SCD, NABISCO said Drysdale did 25,000 auto-
graphs. Sounds like a lot to sign. 2,500 sounds more like feasible.

| 566.14 | What! | POWDML::GASPARONI | | Tue Aug 31 1993 14:13 | 3 |
| If its 25,000, no wonder he dropped dead! His hand cramped up, and
formed a blood clot that stopped the blood to his heart. Has anyone
got any autographs back yet from this promo yet??
|
| 566.15 | | SALEM::DODA | Grip it, zip it and go find it | Tue Sep 07 1993 11:54 | 6 |
| My brother got his Drysdale card in the mail on Saturday. He sent
in his request a couple days after Don's death.
Nice card.

| 566.17 | Nothing yet. | SALEM::DODA | Welcome to Amerika | Wed Sep 29 1993 13:45 | 9 |
| I sent out my order about 1-2 wks after my brother.
Still nothing.
BTW, my brother's Drysdale card came with an order form for more
cards. Drysdale was marked as OUT OF STOCK on it.
I keep waiting, at least my Yoo-Hoo set came in the other day...

| Well, I got my "response" in the mail yesterday.
FWIW, I ordered 5 cards, 2 Drysdales. I figured that since the
form stated that substitues would be sent if the Drysdale was
sold out, I'd give it a a shot.
Yesterday, I got back, my check, my order form, my POP's and a
letter stating that the Drysdale card was unavailable. NONE of
the other cards were sent. I have to fill out the new order form
and send them back in again. Oh, and I got a .50 off coupon for
Nabisco products....
They did provise a SASE to send the form back in. I sent it out
this morning.
I sent the original request in on 7/24.
Oh and BTW, if you used the form that came in the coupon
circulars, you used the wrong zip code and it probably delayed
the mail by a week. My envelope, which was returned, had the zip
crossed out and the SASE has the same address, but a totally
different zip. The ad had the wrong zip.
Won't be surprised if I get none of them back this time, although
I did make a note on the ad asking for any other player if one of
my choices is gone.

| Finally got my cards in the mail yesterday.
I ordered 2 Hunters, 1 Ernie Banks, and 2 Brooks Robinson cards.
I received them all.
When I was removing one of the Robinson cards from the card
sleeve, I found an extra card. So I got a free Robinson card.
Only took 5 months....
