Most collectors have heard of Sy Berger who worked for Topps for over 50 years. Sy is known as the father of the modern-day baseball cards. He was the guy at Topps forever. Mr. Berger passed away last year but he had already passed along a great history to many people in the hobby.
Is there someone at Kellogg's who drove the card-making process for all of those years? Does anyone know where I can find some of this information besides contacting Kellogg's?
Is there a place to find articles on Kellogg's from older magazines like The Trader Speaks, Sports Collectors Digest or any other vintage magazines? Can I do company research on the companies that printed the cards? Should I check newspaper archives?
This is a long-term project but I was appreciate any suggestions.
My number one priority at the National will be to ask this question to any of the major vintage dealers. I will let you know what I find out.
Things that I wonder about......
How did they select players?
Did they struggle to sign certain players?
How were they distributed - any single-prints?
What happened to cards 1-3 in the 1976 set? That could not have been their original plan.
