[[1993 Donruss McDonald's Blue Jays]] is a 36-card set distributed at McDonald's restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area. Unlike the previous year's set, only Toronto Blue Jays players are included.
[[1977 Hostess]] is a 150-card set printed on the sides of boxes of various brands of Hostess snack cakes. The three-card panels (which 7 3/4" X 3 1/4") were designed to be cut-up into individual 2 1/4" X 3 1/4" cards. A custom album was available via mail order.
 
The design of the cards is identical to that of the 1993 Donruss set, but without borders and with the addition of a McDonald's logo on the front.
