1988 Burger King Florida Gators #16 Albert the Alligator – University of Florida Mascot – McDag Regional Issue

Vintage 1988 Albert the Alligator trading card featuring the beloved mascot of the University of Florida Gators.

The front features Albert in his classic Florida Gators uniform along with the Gators and Burger King logos. The reverse identifies him as “Albert the Alligator” and describes his role as the team's spirit leader.

The card also features a vintage “Tip From the Gators” public-service message, reflecting the community-awareness purpose behind this distinctive late-1980s regional card series.

This is card #16 and the final card in the 16-card set, which is especially well known among collectors for also containing the early Emmitt Smith Florida Gators card.

A distinctive piece of University of Florida, college football, mascot and vintage fast-food promotional memorabilia.
