1982 Cubs Red Lobster #23 Ryne Sandberg
This set contains Ryno's first cub card and predates his Donruss, Fleer, and Topps Rookie Cards by one year. The cards were co-produced by the Cubs and Chicago-area Red Lobster restaurants and were introduced as a promotional giveaway on August 20, 1982, at Wrigley Field. A facsimile autograph appears on the front, and the cards run in sequence by uniform number. While the coaches have a short biographical sketch on the back, the player cards simply list the individual's professional record. The key card in the set is obviously Ryne Sandberg's, as Lee Smith also appears in this set in his rookie card year.
