There’s even a Wikipedia page that lets us glean a few more facts about them. These days, because of the internet, there are blogs such as cardjunk to help clear up some of the mystery. Before and after games, there was a lot of baseball card trading as we waited for autographs. I traded for two cards, the Will Clark and Robby Thompson rookie cards from the 1986 set. Though rumors of their release would start early in the season, there was an air of mystery on if they actually existed, what they would look like once they came out, and who would be in the set. They weren’t even listed in baseball card guides like Beckett’s. I mean, you didn’t just go to the local 7-Eleven and buy a pack.

Not only did those cards look great and were truer “rookie” cards, but they were all the more epic because us kids weren’t quite sure how to get them.
We thought that was a neat way to provide player space to sign without messing up that nice glossy finish. However, underneath the miniature biography of each player, there was a line marked “Autograph”. The backs of each card, curiously, didn’t have baseball statistics on them. They also were thinner than normal baseball card stock, which gave it that extra amount of “I have to be careful with this, so it must be valuable” vibe. They also had distinctive rounded corners which, to a kid’s imagination, made them even more cool. They had a glossy, sleek finish at a time before Upper Deck existed. Almost an equivalent to the rookie cards in the “Topps Traded” sets, Mother’s Cookies cards were available before the major companies main sets had been distributed. The “true rookies” were the Mother’s Cookies cards. But for many kid fans in the area, the rookie cards weren’t in the Topps, Fleer or Donruss sets. If you were a fan of the green and gold, those were the days it was cool to love Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. If you were a Giant fan, Will Clark and Robby Thompson were at the top of your list. That was driven by two real good teams, the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants, and young rookie stars on each team to root for. Besides computers though, another hot craze in the area was baseball cards.

Before Apple, its claim to fame was the place Matthew Broderick tried to pirate video games from in the movie WarGames. Back then, the Silicon Valley moniker was still in its infancy and really wasn’t all that well known outside of California. You can also get a box of 28 pouches, perfect for individual snacks or Valentine exchanges, for $9.99.When I was in grade school in the mid 1980s, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. These Valentine’s Day-themed cookies are a limited batch, so they won’t be around for long. We found them in the seasonal department of our local Target in giftable heart-shaped boxes for $4.99. The X’s and O’s are covered in sweet pink and white frosting and sprinkled with red and white nonpareils. Rather than traditional animal shapes, Mother’s X’s & O’s Cookies are made to represent hugs and kisses for Valentine’s Day (or tic tac toe pieces, if you’re not feeling particularly romantic this year). But lately, Mother’s Circus has been celebrating the holidays with the release of limited batch cookies decked out for Halloween and Christmas, and now they’ve released a special Valentine’s Day edition too! Normally, Mother’s Circus Animal Cookies are sold in the shape of circus animals and topped with frosting and rainbow nonpareils.
