First food issue in a long time
Picking up groceries today, I noticed the 12 pack of Utz chips had exclusive Topps cards. Bought a bag, (The one with 12 snack size bags inside)
Included is one pack of three cards plus at least in mine, a header/coupon for more Topps cards. special numbers, Like utz28, etc. And a different front design. No idea yet how many in the set. No offer on the bag for a mail in set. Could be a decent one. |

I never heard of Utz chips, what part of the country are you in?
Are their chips good? (Stomach growling, time to get a snack, I was fine till you mentioned food!) |

Just so you know, this is actually the 2nd year UTZ has cards in their product.

I'm a bit north of Boston.
I didn't see the cards earlier in the year, but what's online says they've been out for a while. Maybe Market Basket just didn't get them? I didn't see them last year. The chips are ok, about what you'd expect from a brand priced between lays and store brands. |

Previous wide distribution food issue was 2016 Wal-Mart Marketplace Pizza. Been a long time since Cracker Jack has had any cards.

Just went to a local store and found two. Yea Haw, reminded me of the old days chasing down regional/national food issues which I love. My favorite was trying to complete the '86 Jiffy Pop set and ate so much of it I usually gave it away. My nemesis was the Gooden and had to trade a couple sets to get it as I was stationed overseas and it was difficult to complete the set with one store..

Read this thread and saw that there was a Kyle Lewis...being from Seattle, no Utz chips here, went and bought one on Ebay. Very cool card, and I don't do modern. Appreciate the thread...thanks!

UTZ cards are awesome
I personally collect them and love them.
There's 2 sets -- 2019 and 2020. The 2019 set is identical to 2019 Topps flagship except for the numbering and UTZ logo. These sets could be purchased from UTZ. The 2020 set is a whole other beast entirely. I personally how they look nothing like Topps flagship but sadly when I contacted UTZ about purchasing complete sets, they answer was "no, we aren't selling them". They are a nice niche product and are considered SP's. They run quite a bit more than their regular Topps counterparts and while production numbers aren't known, the general feeling is that it's a great deal less than regular product. I wish they sold UTZ chips here in Colorado but they're a product of the NE. Actually no, I'm glad they don't because I'd be buying 100s of bags of chips LOL

You can order the chips on Amazon in different quantities but I did not see anything mentioned about the cards, and Steve seemed to say the chips themselves are just ok.

The Utz chips are only in the large multi-bag packs. I live in Maryland and was just at the supermarket tonight and they are everywhere. I did buy a few and pulled a Mike Trout (on top) of the cello pack and sold for 20 bucks on ebay. The plastic containers are specially marked as having Topps cards. I like them.

Is there an UTZ logo somewhere?

UTZ is printed upper right as part of card number. This pic from an eBay listing

OK...now i am addicted to both completing this set AND eating the chips....luckily I found a local deli that donates meals to local hospitals, first responders, food banks etc and they are going to take all my little bags to include in those meals.
Here's my comment on the cards...in about one out of every two bags/packs opened, each of the three cards has a dual "crease", about an inch apart, running the entire vertical length of the cards. Impacts each of the cards equally. Looks mechanical...like a roller or some other part of the printing process...did not happen whilst in the bag due to poor handling as the "creases" are far too uniform. Has anyone else found similar issues? At this rate, putting together a "mint" set will be really tough Mike |
