How come this is not listed as a 'parallel set' like Topps Tiffany?? ------------------------------- You've got a diamond, You've got 9 men, You've got a hat, and a bat, and that's not all. You got the bleachers, got 'em from spring 'til fall. You got a dog, and a drink, and an umpire's call. What do you want? Let's play ball. OK!! [OK!!] Blue Jays!! [Blue Jays!!] Let's! Play! Ball!

Because it is NOT a parallel. It wasn't available in Topps packs or sets. The cards were only available through Nestle as 132-card sheets. Most of the sheets were later cut up into individual cards. Those are the 2 reasons it is not a parallel. Most food-issue cards from the era are also not parallels (Ralston-Purina, Burger King, etc.). I hope this info helps you out in the future as well.

Thanks! I had no idea how these cards were distributed. Maybe worth adding to the comments section for the set?! Great insight.
