These yellow and blue plastic baseball
player figures were a 1958 Nabisco
cereal prize. Yellow Sox baseball
players were inserted into boxes of
Rice Honeys cereal, and the Blue Sox
players were inserted into Wheat Honeys
cereal boxes. Each team set consisted
of batters, fielders, umpires, base
runners, pitchers, and an ABC
cameraman. Fifteen figures in all, for
each team. More players
could be ordered through a
coupon offer which was also inserted
into the box.
Mail in 25¢ and a box top from either Wheat Honeys or Rice Honeys cereal,
and you had a choice of one of 4 sets
of 5 players for each team.

have more of a gloss than
the 1958 originals.
