393.0. "NBA Hoops at McDonalds" by AUNTB::PARKERJ () Tue Feb 11 1992 17:06

    In South Carolina McDonalds has a limited offer for the Hoops cards. 
    Buy a value meal and receive a pack (4 cards) of NBA hoops cards.  This
    is a 62 card set, and has the Olympic team in their uniforms.  I hate
    to think how many woppers it would take to complete this set.

393.1Parkerhurst Cards To Be Released SoonASDS::KELLYWed Feb 12 1992 13:4913
    Get a job at one of them and fill you kids, friends and relatives
    bags when they come in to buy a happy meal.   Then sell them at an
    outrageous markup ( your now a dealer and can quit your job at 
    McD's ) and buy a Denny's franchise in anticipation of the 
    Holograms that they will put out.  Keep the holograms and sell them
    at an outrageous profit by the case ( now your a wholesaler and
    a dealer ) .  Sell your Denny's.  Buy a printing company that is going
    Chapter 11 and make your own cards - lie to the public - sell shares
    go to a country without extradition and rake in the good times.

393.6Any in New England area???DNEAST::WOODMAN_MIKEWed Feb 12 1992 21:564
    My girlfriend bought me some in Indianapolis, I have yet to see them,
    since she is mailing them.  They were .49 a pack, no limit on packs,
    she bought me ten.  I'm just hoping they run the same deal up here so I
    can complete the set.
393.7$.49 not badDNEAST::WOODMAN_MIKEFri Feb 14 1992 18:504
    I picked some up today, they would only let me buy 2 packs at a time,
    but at least I didn't have to buy the combo deal.  They are the same as
    the reg. Hoops cards, except the Backs are colored different, and of
    course different numbers.
393.8Check before you buy NBA HoopsAUNTB::PARKERJFri Feb 14 1992 20:167
    re.-1
    
    The pictures are also different.  I bet you will see these on tables at
    shows, they will be confusing because I can't find where they say
    Mcdonalds on them at all.

393.9Not much different.DNEAST::WOODMAN_MIKEFri Feb 14 1992 22:353
    I haven't found any McDonald's logo's on them either.  The only
    differences I have seen are the numbers which are in a basketball, and
    the stats being printed orange.
393.1070 card set.18031::WOODMAN_MIKETue Feb 25 1992 19:543
    Just heard the Actual set contains 70 cards, the last 8 are Bulls and
    are only being offered at McD's in chicago.  Would be nice to get all
    70 cards.

393.13FYI on the cupsMARLIN::MATOSMon Aug 10 1992 14:5516
    	I just found out that the cups are 12 cups in the set instead of
    10. The additional cups are Clyde Drexler and Christian Laettner.
    McDonalds has order forms so you can order individual cups or 
    the set of 12. The prices are $7.16 plus 3.50 (s/h) for a set of 12
    cups or you can order individual cups the 1st cup is $1.92 then any
    cups after the first one is .53 cents each plus (s/h).
    The shipping and handling on the individual cups are as follows'
    1-3  cups      $2.25
    4-6  cups      $3.00
    7-12 cups      $3.50
    over one set   $5.00 
    
    oh, by the way a portion of each purchase will be donated to the U.S.
    olympic team ( .10 cent per cup )

393.14May not need to mail away for them.A1VAX::BARTHShun the frumious BandersnatchWed Aug 19 1992 19:547
The Mac's I went to most recently (you don't want to know where... :^)
had a sign saying "we are now selling sets of cups."

So maybe you can dodge the s&h charges and just pay for the cups.
I didn't inquire as to the cost.

    Except I doubt they have the Drexler and Laettner cups.  I blv
    these are only available through the mail-in offer.
    
    Also, a *LOT* of McDonald's sold out of the cups.

393.16At least I thought of you, Roy, when...A1VAX::BARTHShun the frumious BandersnatchWed Aug 19 1992 20:1212
Hmmm.  OK, I'll spill the beans. It was in Ithaca, NY.

When I ordered the Olympic cup sized drinks, they asked "Which player(s) 
do you want?"

If I had known, I'd have asked for Laettner/Drexler.  Silly me, I
asked for Jordan & Johnson.  

Live & learn.  In any case, they seemed to have a gazillion cups.
Kind of a long way to go just to get them, though.  :^)
