D&D Hologram Cards

[MortiS-the-Lost]

Here's a little bit of a blast from the past - I found these D&D Hologram Cards while I was looking through some old stuff of mine. I seem to remember them coming free with something (probably cornflakes) when I was very young.
There were 6 of these to collect, but I only ever had these 3 (not including several multiples of the 'Ghast')
[Update: it transpires I in fact had 4 different cards and have lost 1 ]



The holograms are of unpainted Miniatures from Citadel's Licensed D&D and AD&D ranges. Although if you get the lighting just-right it is possible to photograph a hologram, I couldn't manage to get my scanner to pick-up the hologram images very well - so to give you some idea of what the holograms look like I have used images of the same miniatures taken from The Stuff of Legends

Does/did anyone else have any of these?

Note these date from the mid-to-late 80's in the UK

Thanks to James Koti (A member of the Old School Gamers Group on Facebook) I can now confirm that these cards came in packs of Shreddies and also show you an image of all 6 cards

Seeing this jogged my memory a little and I seem to remember also having #3 - the one of the top-left of the picture with artwork of arches in the background and a circular stone rimmed well in the foreground with what appears to be worms or tentacles crawling out of it and a lid thrown to one side. I think the hologram may have been of a Wizard, probably one of these 3 below if I remember correctly

Hi.

I did a post on my Dungeons & Dragons cartoon website about these today as I managed to get hold of and scan a Shreddies packet with the advert on the back. (I know the holograms aren't of the cartoon characters but Dungeon Master made a cameo to advertise them.) Annoyingly, I think I had some of these as I used to collect Citadel miniatures. Did I keep them? Did I heck...

Excellent! Thank you for sharing this
