My Three Hours at the National and the November Chicago Show

 The National was 30 minutes from my hours but I only had three hours available to attend this year.  I sped through the place in order to check out as many booths as possible.  I bought a few Kellogg's cards, but prices are still inflated.  I did grab one item that I didn't expect to find.  It was great to add this to my collection.



This is a 1970 Football factory set.  I am seeking baseball factory sets from 1970, 1972, 1974, 1975 and 1976.  I don't expect to ever get them but I can at least dream.

I probably spent another 20-30 dollars on other cards.  It was nice to see the show, but I hope that next time I can spend more time at the show.  

Between the National and the Fanatics show last week I didn't find time to do anything with my cards.  I actually spent $0 at the Fanatics show.  Lots of Pokemon and cards from the last two years, neither of which I collect.   I've only had a few online purchases and even fewer updates to my want lists that can be seen on the blog.  Now that coaching has ended I hope to get organized again.

Has anyone seen anything new with Kellogg's cards and related items?

  1. I don't think I saw a single 70's Kellogg's card at the show I attended last weekend. That being said... I wasn't really looking too closely at dealer's display cases. I was mainly interested in in dime and quarter bins.

  2. I would love to see dime and quarter boxes too, but I don't see much of that at Chicago shows unless it includes cards from the last year or two.
