Card #3: Only 90,000 of these were distributed

Hop back in time with me to 1994.
The hottest movies were The Lion King, Forrest Gump, and Pulp Fiction.
O.J. Simpson, one of the nation's beloved sports entertainment guys was being held on trial for the murder of two cases.
Michael Jordan, fresh from his NBA retirement was trying his baseball career.
The most popular comic books were Spawn and Adventures of Superman.
And nearly every food market had a unique spin on trading cards.  Wendy's, not to be out done by Denny's and McDonald's produced a hologram set of cards, but limited the production to only 90,000 cards.

Only 90,000 existed!!!!

With so few produced, it's amazing that these can still be had for a George Washington.

But, I remember a few years ago grabbing one of these Roberto Clemente Wendy's cards for $1 at a local mall card show.

Despite the strangeness of the card, it does feature a nice green holgram of Clemente swinging at a baseball.

The back indicates the rarity of this card.

ONLY 90,000!!!!!

But it also has a nice collection of basic stats in addition to Roberto's career accomplishments.

  1. Very cool. Never seen this hologram before. I went over to COMC to buy one, but there's only one available and they're asking $14.25. With 90k in existence, I'll be patient and hopefully find one in a random quarter bin or dime box.

    1. I got mine for a few bucks. It's a cool oddball, but not for $14
