It's another "oddball" day. Back in May I had a post on this thread where I featured nine Coca-Cola cards from my collection. Today is Pepsi's turn. Pepsi Cola was just as much a player when it came to baseball cards as Coke. Here are nine Pepsi-related cards from my collection.

1977 Pepsi Glove Discs #43 Pete Rose (This is one of two of these that I have intact, the other being Mike Schmidt. This was inserted into a carton of Pepsi-Cola. I don't normally collect oversize items but somewhere along the lines I accumulated this and still have it because it's Rose and because it's cool.)
1990 Pepsi Canseco #7 Jose Canseco/(Sitting on/Dugout Steps) (This is from a 10-card set of Canseco cards issued in conjunction with Pepsi.)
1990 Red Sox Pepsi #6 Roger Clemens (These cards were affixed to specially marked 12-packs of Pepsi. They were attached in a manner that made them difficult to remove so near mint cards from this set are difficult to find.)

1991 Pepsi Griffeys #4 Ken Griffey Jr./Posing with bat on shoulder (Part of an 8-card set sponsored by Pepsi and inserted one per special 12-pack of Pepsi. Some cards feature just Senior and some feature both Senior and Junior and others like this one just feature Junior.)
1991 Pepsi Rickey Henderson Discs #4 Rickey Henderson/Warming up/Follow through (In 1991 Pepsi issued a four disc 3D set in honor of Henderson.)
1991 Pepsi Superstar #8 Cal Ripken (Pepsi-Cola issued this 17-card set in Florida as part of it's "Flavor of Baseball" promotion. Cards were glued inside specially marked 12-packs of Pepsi in Miami, Orlando and Tampa.)

1992 Pepsi Diet MSA #29 Barry Bonds (This set was produced by MSA and distributed in three-card packs in Canada. Packs were given away free with the purchase of Diet Pepsi or Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi and cards are printed in both English and French.)
1997 Mariners Upper Deck Pepsi Game #P4 Alex Rodriguez (These cards were given away at a Mariners game and look very similar to the basic 1997 Upper Deck cards although obviously blue on the bottom instead of copper.)
2003 Pepsi #25 Albert Pujols (This card is from a 30-card Fleer produced set which featured one player from each team. Pujols got the Cardinals' card. They were inserted one per 24 count case of Pepsi.)
