New Low for Collectors

I got this eMail just before shutting down my computer, John thought this was old news. He found #22 Ward Burton and #12 Jeremy Mayfield with the 12 Pak Assortment of BUSS fuses in an (undisclosed) auto parts store. I'm on it, but I was only able to check one place so far. I've seen the BUSS listings in the price guide, but never knew about them, thanks John.

This is interesting, while the Oreos car was still available, the Nilla Wafer car started appearing! ProMoCo pointed it out first, he also noticed that the only difference between the promos was the P.O. Box number (and the color of the car). So, in order to receive your Nabisco/Dale Earnhardt Jr. Nilla Wafer #3 BGN Chevy, get 2 UPCs, put your name on a 3x5 card, and send $3.99 + $1.00 S&H (4.99 total) to:

Nabisco NASCAR Offer
PO Box 390345
El Paso, TX 80539-0345
Before August 20, 2002.


As I mentioned in Alert #25, there will be more #36 paint jobs throughout the year at K-mart. This one is kinda expensive, unless you own a big dog. I've looked but no luck yet, but Harold found the Kenny Schrader Pedigree #36 WC Pontiac inside a 44 lb bag of dog food Last year's Promo required a purchase of at least 8 or 9 dollars, and it was a Mail-In PoP, this bag costs almost $15.00, but the car is included!

I would normally leave this as an editorial in the eNewsletter, but since I've not had a chance to work on a new issue, I'll rant a little here.

There have been several (3 so far that I know of) "Official" Order Forms included in the advertising & coupon section of the newspaper. This was OK for the Mrs. Smith's offer since they allowed a 3x5 card. I got lucky with the Tide/Downey car because ProMoCo sent me an extra. But the Tide and Smucker's offers "Require" the "Official" Order Form. I called the Smucker's people, and they said I could try sending in a 3x5 card, but they wouldn't guarantee the fulfillment company would send one. They also have a prize giveaway, 3rd or 4th prize is one of 5,000 1:24th scale #11 Smucker's BGN Ford cars. Odds of winning are 1:2,530 and the ARV (Average Retail Value) is $40.00. Which brings me to my next beef! Kraft pudding also has a giveaway to attend a NASCAR race, and second place is 1 of 10,000 Mark Martin Kraft #6 WC Ford HotWheels cars (ARV: $4.99 ea.). The odds of winning that are only 1:3,491! A disclaimer states (UNCLAIMED PRIZES WILL NOT BE AWARDED), so what will they do with them?

Keep your eyes peeled - they're out there!
