The box gives us all the pertinent details. First, the set had All-Stars from three different sports; football, hockey, and basketball. The first ten cards were football players, cards 17-21 and 23-25 were basketball players, and cards 11-16 and 22 were hockey players. Next, you can see that the box referred to the cards as “Series No. 2”, a sort of follow-on to the 1974 set. Also, the package calls for collectors to send in for “3 ALL STAR POSTERS One each for your Football * Hockey * Basketball ‘Teams'”. The offer was on the wrapper. The back of the card says the posters are 10” x 15”, while the 1974 example was advertised as 18” x 24”.

The design of the cards is a little different than the 1974 examples. The cards still have an enlarged head photo on a caricature body, but the background is more flag or shield-like with stars and stripes.

The back of the cards, despite being meant to be stuck on the posters, still featured some player facts, the card number and series, the call to check the wrapper for the poster offer, and the Nabisco Confections name and address.

The 1975 Nabisco Sugar Daddy cards are a little harder to find than the 1974s.
