I saw this article on Sports Collectors Daily - 1937 Kellogg's Pep Cereal Stamps. The article mentioned that this cereal was sold until the 1970s, but I don't remember it at all. It was said to be a rival of Wheaties, so the stamps promotion makes sense since Wheaties was using sports giveaways to sell cereal during the 1930s.
I've seen these items on ebay but I never clicked to learn any more about these stamps.
This article was worth reading. Will I ever attempt to get these? I don't know how much I am going to branch out into other Kellogg's sports-related items. That might work if I end up getting all of the 1970 - 1983 cards.

I was disappointed to find out that there were few golfers and no track and field athletes.

ReplyDeletePep Cereal? Somehow, that sounds illegal.
ReplyDeleteSome of those cards are almost affordable...
Maybe someday. Lots of other things to work on first.
