I bought a handful of Kellogg's football cards recently from ebay. They arrived tonight. My first thoughts took me back to 1970 when I got my first two cards from this set.
I don't remember getting 1970 Kellogg's baseball cards out of cereal boxes, but I do remember the football cards. The first two cards that I got were Lem Barney and Mel Renfro. Since I played on the pee-wee Cowboys at Scottsdale Park, I followed the Dallas Cowboys and I knew Renfro. Since the Bears played the Lions twice a year I also knew who Barney was.
The purchase was less than $10 including shipping since the cards were cracked. It was worth it for the trip back to 1970. The big difference is now I eat Corn Flakes instead of Frosted Flakes.
Not bad, but I certainly wanted Bob Hayes, Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus.
