[[1990 Score McDonald's]] is a 40-card set distributed at only eleven McDonald's restaurants in rural Idaho and Oregon during a three-week period in the Spring of 1990. The set includes 25 player cards and 15 World Series Trivia cards. Collectors who purchased and order of french fries and a soft drink would receive a free pack of four cards. The back of the packs mention a contest to the 1990 World Series which suggests that the set might have been intended for distribution on a larger scale.<br />
[[2002 Upper Deck MVP]] is a 301-card set released in May, 2002. Card #301 was added very late in the production run; however, it was not short-printed. Every other Hobby box will yield a game-used card.
<br />
The front has color action player photos, with white and yellow borders on a royal blue card face that fades as one moves toward the middle of the card. The upper left corner of the picture is cut off to allow space for the McDonald's logo; the player's name and team logo at the bottom round out the card face. The backs have color mugshots, biography, statistics, and career summary.<br />
<br />
Because of the extremely very limited distribution, this is one of the toughest food issues of the era. The rarity combined with the blue borders make high grade cards extremely valuable. </td>
