Kellogg's Cards That Didn't Appear in My Neighborhood

I found a few Kellogg's cards that jumped immediately to the top of my list of favorites recently.  This set combined my interests in both Kellogg's cards and track and field.  I believe that it originates from England.

The company took great care in creating this set.  Check out the images that I will try to describe.  The checklist is listed below.


The image below shows the front of the card for the 400 Metres Hurdles.  The card on the right below actually was inserted into the card on the left.



The cards below show the backside of the cards above.




I was surprised to then be able to open the to read about the event.  I haven't done so yet.  I will save that for another blog post, maybe on my Sportscaster blog.



The inserted card was slides up/down to reveal different stories about the stars of the 400 Metres Hurdles.  I just noticed that there are two different stories highlighted on the inserted card.

On the top half A. Phillips (USA) won the Seoul Olympics in this event.  Notice the red circle next to the category Seoul under Olympic Winners.

On the bottom half the text mentions someone's second gold medal came during his streak of winning 122 consecutive races.  The answer, The Great Ed Moses, has a red circle next to it.  In the USA he was always called Edwin Moses.



At the same time, when sliding the card, the women's results are utilizing the same style of highlighting winners, record holders and highlights.



That's a lot of stuff to put in a card in a box of cereal.  Has anyone seen other items like this?

Now I want an entire set in the package and out of the package.  Has anyone seen these in the USA?
