1981 Squirt
Description
1981 Squirt is a 33-card food issue set produced by Topps. Cards were printed on two-card "panels" that were then hung on the neck of two-liter bottles of Squirt soda. There are 22 unique two-card panels with the top card (which is actually in the middle of the panel) being one of the first eleven cards in the set, and the bottom card coming from cards #12-#33. The pattern for pairings was cards 1&12 and 1&23, 2&13 and 2&24, 3&14 and 3&25, and so forth on up to 11&22 and 11&33. Each panel, which measures 2 1/2" X 10 1/2", is perforated with each card measuring the standard 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" size.
The backs of each card is a reprint of that player's respective 1981 Topps card.
Supposedly panels 4&15, 4&26, 5&27, and 6&28 are more difficult to find.
Distribution
Two card "panel" on each two-liter bottle of Squirt soda.
