I'm not sure how much of this translates from the scan above. You really have to see this box in person to appreciate the deep blue & silver foil that it's printed on. I mean it's made entirely from foil - front/back/sides/top/bottom - for a cereal box!

Honestly? To me it looks more like an expensive Christmas present than a breakfast for kids. Then, add to that, the back of the box has this great illustration that's fully embossed. As a graphic designer by trade I can tell you that this effect alone is incredibly expensive. Yet when I purchased a few of these bad boys for my collection I didn't pay more than any other regular cereal, so that fact alone made this a fantastic bargain for collectors.

On top of all that - you got eight of the biggest major league stars on one box. Not just one single image like those found on a Wheaties box. Now I understand you can make an argument that having to share a box is a lesser honor than having the cover by yourself, but honestly, the way I see it: It's the ultimate honor to be considered among the very elite of your field. As you can see from the scan - Frank is on the front of the box, along with Big Mac McGwire and Mike Piazza.

I really wish this product had caught on. Can you imagine a series of brilliant foil boxes in a whole assortment of colors? Christmas reds & greens, rich purples, efferfescent oranges, well...you get the idea. Hey, if you're going to take a shot you might as well make it a big one - and this succeeds beyond all expectations.

I challenge you to show me a box of equal quality. IMHO, this puts those flat, pasty Wheaties boxes to shame. ;-)
