Marketside Pizza Set Update

My search for more food issue cards has mostly proved fruitless since my last post. However, last night I was able to find a single meat lover's pizza that came with an elusive pack of cards.


True, it was the not the most exciting pack I could have pulled, but it did provide three cards that I need for the set completion. Additionally, more details have surfaced about the specifics of the set. Most notably, the complete checklist is now available. Check it out here. Also, it is reported that these should be available in pizza boxes(when you can find them) through June.

At a whopping 50 cards, this set will be a bit difficult to finish, but I'm gonna do it. Hopefully I can avoid eBay as much as possible since most cards currently listed have asking prices of $8-10/card and even higher for the likes of Trout, Bryant, Correa, Harper, and Schwarber. I'll try my best not to flood the blog with constant info about this set, but I will say that periodic updates will pop up here and there.

Current completion: 9 out of 50 in hand, one additional card pending in trade. Wow, I'm 20% done. Too bad the biggest name I've pulled from the set so far is the Seager RC. Oh well, like I said, lots of pizza eating to be done! Thanks for reading.

  1. Having to eat pizza to gain baseball cards seems like an okay proposition to me!

  2. You got the one card -- Braun -- that I need from that set.

    Well, to be fair and complete, I need two of them.

    How is the pizza from there, by the way?

    1. Only tried the supreme I got from the other post and the meat lovers. The supreme wasn't great but I've had worse. The meat lovers is actually pretty good. Both are far better than any frozen pizza you'd find.

    2. By the way, the stuffed crust pepperoni is heads and tails above anything you'll find in the freezer section ... and possibly even from Pizza Hut.
