Set of three Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back posters:
I thought Burger King had a monopoly on Star Wars promotions after A New Hope, but sure enough Burger Chef had a small role in promoting the first Star Wars sequel. This poster set appears in a 1980 Burger Chef commercial.
I asked the artist, Boris Vallejo about the history of this series and he said, "The posters were actually done originally as a promotional campaign for the Coca Cola Company, to be given away at movie theaters that showed "The Empire Strikes Back". Subsequently they found other avenues."
So these posters were not exclusive to Burger Chef and therefor do not contain the Burger Chef mark like the original 1977 Star Wars posters. Similarly, the King Kong collectible glasses distributed by Burger Chef (another Coca Cola promotion) do not bear a Burger Chef mark.
Burger Chef promoted the television series Festival of Family Classics with this set of trading cards issued in 1972. The series was a set of 12 cartoons that aired one a month for a year. The shows were the creation of Rankin Bass studios (best known for their production of stop motion animation holiday specials like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.)
My set is still incomplete. I'm always looking to buy or trade for the the ones I need. This set probably contains 100 cards although the highest number I've seen is 99.
Each card is 2.5"x3.5".
The backs are identical and depict Burger Chef and Jeff promoting the shows.

"The Ghost of Grizzly Mountain"
As a general rule, I only post photographs of objects in my possession. In this case, I only have MP3 copies of the original recordings, part of the Monster Fun Record Funmeal series of premiums, so no pictures from me on these...you'll have to visit Tvindy who graciously emailed me "The Ghost of Grizzly Mountain" if you want to see an example of the bright colored, floppy plastic 33 1/3 RPM records they were ripped from. Tvindy posted "Cackleburger" and "Fangburger" on her site later with a hat tip to Donny. Thanks to you both for making these available.
Two 9" orange flying discs.
