407.0. "1992 Kellog's Raisin Bran College Greats" by DDIF::TANCILL (long may you run) Wed Mar 11 1992 14:04

    
    I was going to put this is the general food card note, but darned
    if I could find it (thought there was one somewhere...)
    
    If you prefer the sugary variety of Kellog's Raisan Bran over Post,
    than you're in luck:
    
    Kellog's Raisan Bran presents College Basketball Greats, an 18 card
    seriess packed in raisan bran boxes, 3 per box.  The set includes
    color pictures of each player in their college uniform with full
    collegiate stats on the back.  They're pretty nice cards, I got
    a Larry Bird, kenny Anderson and Horace Grant in one box.  Also
    there is an offer on the side for 3 POPs plus $2.99 you can get the
    entire set in a holder.  The set includes:
    
    Clyde Drexler	Bernard King		Spud Webb
    Mark Price		Kenny Anderson		Doug Smith
    Hakeem Olajuwun	Larry Bird		Scottie Pippen
    Mark Macon		Gary Payton		Horace Grant
    Charles Smith	Tim Hardaway		Karl Malone
    Kevin Johnson	John Stockton		Wayman Tisdale

    Rather surprised that Jordan isn't part of the set.  Is it one
    player per team??

407.3M. Jordon and WheatiesJOKUR::OLOUGHLINWed Mar 11 1992 15:006
    Yea it could be a case of 1 player from each team. although concerning
    M. Jordon it may be a case of him being involved with Wheaties.
    Just a thought!

407.5not necessarily the 18 greatest collegiatesDDIF::TANCILLlong may you runWed Mar 11 1992 15:1911
    
    I think with several choices here it is a matter of who they could
    get the legal rights to...
    
    Roy, I will probably be sending for whole set after 3 boxes so I
    should have 9 dups to give away or trade with; for you or others who
    are interested.  The Bird picture being a bit older is slightly
    fuzzy but shows #33 going up for a jumper, complete with bushy
    semi-longish blond hair and mustache.

    No Isiah?
407.7nopeDDIF::TANCILLlong may you runThu Mar 12 1992 02:3510
    
    I guess no Isiah, I just listed what they listed on the back of the
    box.  They said an 18 card set, they pictured 18 cards, with 17
    names and little blurbs about some accomplishment of each player.
    
    Interestingly the one they left unamed with his card mostly covered
    by two others is Kenny Anderson.

407.9Cant Jump ASDS::KELLYFri Mar 13 1992 14:1911
    re 407.5
    
    Going up for a jumper !!!!!! I can't stop laughing.  This I have to
    see.
    I'll bet it's a retouch of someone who can jump. 
    
    A jumper !!!! He cant jump over paint.  I have to stop laughing
    my BACK IS STARTING TO HURT.  Did you see the job Scottie Pippen
    did on him.

407.10can't actually see the 'jump'DDIF::TANCILLlong may you runFri Mar 13 1992 15:4812
    
    The defender on play is blocking out Larry's lower body so you
    really can't tell how far he is off the ground (or should I say
    how close he is to the ground).  I'll rephrase: It looks as if
    Larry is about to release a shot in the picture of him from his
    Indy days.
    
    Is Larry in the upcoming movie a saw an ad for on tv yesterday?
    The movie is entitled "White Men Can't Jump".

    Nah, Woody Harrelson (Woody Boyd from Cheers fame) plays the 
    "white men" in _White_Guys_Can't_Jump_, co-starring with
    Wesley Snipes (who I believe was in _Jungle_Fever_ and one or
    two other Spike Lee movies)
