I saw this article on Sports Collectors Daily - 1937 Kellogg's Pep Cereal Stamps. The article mentioned that this cereal was sold until the 1970s, but I don't remember it at all. It was said to be a rival of Wheaties, so the stamps promotion makes sense since Wheaties was using sports giveaways to sell cereal during the 1930s.
I've seen these items on ebay but I never clicked to learn any more about these stamps.
This article was worth reading. Will I ever attempt to get these? I don't know how much I am going to branch out into other Kellogg's sports-related items. That might work if I end up getting all of the 1970 - 1983 cards.
Here is more information. https://prewarcards.com/2016/09/28/1937-kelloggs-pep-stamps-football-set-and-checklist/
I was disappointed to find out that there were few golfers and no track and field athletes.
I have the Ferrell from the 37 set
ReplyDeleteDid you pick it up for a reason?

ReplyDeletePep Cereal? Somehow, that sounds illegal.
ReplyDeleteSome of those cards are almost affordable...
Maybe someday. Lots of other things to work on first.
