Cracker Jack R/C Volkswagon

[Musiclogic]

I have a new in the box Cracker Jack baseball R/C Volkswagon car. I am trying to find information on it if any of the collectors have any input I can glean about it. Thank you All!

I wasn't collecting when this came out, so I'm just going by memory from what I heard others say. Hopefully those who know more, will fill in any details and correct my mistakes.

At the start of the baseball season in 2000, there was a promotion called Catch the Baseball Bug Sweepstakes. The grand prize was a VW Bug Turbo, with leather seat coverings (from Rawlings), I believe there was a baseball on the tip of the gear shift, and a baseball bat as an emergency brake.

There were also many remote controlled Volkswagen Beetles given away. Quite a few of our members have them, and have had races in the past with them. I don't know how many were given away, or how much they're worth, but I know our members have had fun with them.

Luke is absolutely right!
