The set itself is pretty cool as each card is a "pop-up" of the featured player. Basically, you gently bend the card to pop the player up a bit and then pull a tab to make the player stand up fully.
While I do like the pop-up idea in theory, I will say that my particular copy of the 1993 Post Canadian card is still in its original cellophane wrapper and I have no plans to free it from it's crinkly plastic prison to pop out the card!

I like these and the concept for "pop-up" or "stand-up" cards. It'd be cool to see Topps create an insert like this for their flagship or Opening Day product lines.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it uses one of the patents I wrote about at SABR. https://sabrbaseballcards.blog/2020/01/13/mid-90s-pop-ups/
ReplyDeleteMinor correction, it's bilingual - not just French! But I enjoyed this set, I had all the Jays from it at one point
