If you’re among those who’ve been clamoring for more food issue sets in the hobby, clamor no more. Marketside Pizza baseball cards have arrived. Well, if your local Walmart has them, anyway. Look for the specially-marked boxes before you head to the checkout. There were a small number of sightings late last week but the promotion is just now cranking up
nationwide.
The cards are packed inside boxes of the pizza that is sold through Walmart stores. Each box of Marketside Pizza contains a pack of three cards along with a Topps BUNT code and $7.50 worth of Topps coupons.
The look is quite a bit different from the 2016 Topps flagship issue. The front design is full bleed and carries the Marketside logo in the upper left. Backs contain some written highlights but no stats.
The checklist for Topps Marketside Baseball is below. If you want a full set, you might want to start planning some serious pizza parties. There are 50 cards in all including most of the game’s stars including Mike Trout, Kris Bryant, Jacob deGrom, David Ortiz and Miguel Cabrera. There are rookie cards of Miguel Sano, Luis Severino, Hector Olivera, Aaron Nola, Kyle Schwarber and Corey Seager.
Just as in 2016 Opening Day, there are a couple of mascot cards for the youngsters.
Cards are rolling out to stores now and should be available nationwide in early April. The promotion runs through June or while supplies last. so you’ll have time to find what you need for your set on eBay (a few have already popped up).
