I've been so busy and without my Macbook that I didn't even realize that I hadn't posted in a while.
Today I went to a card show in Rosemont, IL. I almost went to one in Ohio yesterday, but the timing didn't work out while I was in town.
I picked up a nice 1972 Kellogg's Clemente, a 1974 Gibson and a bunch of 1971 cards in VG-EX(?) condition. I don't have a great skill at grading cards, but these were not cracked, had decent corner and decent, but not great colors. Alas, no new variations but at least I got two upgrades.
Over Thanksgiving I will try to combine two broken Macbooks into a functional one while I await a new one from work.
Back to the show. The highlight was talking to a dealer from Wisconsin who was more collector than dealer. He had lots of Kellogg's cards including a 1970 Unopened football set and a large stack of unopened Kellogg's baseball cards from 1970 and 1975. He has been mentioned in a few articles on Kellogg's cards a dozen years ago. I will try to track them down and add those articles here.
Gonna add a 1972 Clemente to my collection at some point... but I'm trying to track down a 1970 Clemente first.
ReplyDeleteI hope you already have a 1971.
ReplyDeleteActually... the reason those two years are significant is 1970 is my favorite Kellogg's design... and 1972 is my birth year. However... with that being said... if I found a 1971 Clemente at a bargain price, I'd have no problems adding it to my collection.
