I finally completely organized my unopened Kellogg's card packs this morning. There were a few surprises as I work toward a goal of completing a few unopened sets this year.
As a young collector I always was a type collector, even though I didn't know what that was at the time. I always wanted a card from every type of set. That's why I have an 1889 (?) Old Judge card among other old stuff.
With Kellogg's cards I am the same way. I've completed the 1978 and 1980 unopened sets. From 1970 to 1980 I have varying amounts of unopened cards from each set. There are two sets that I've got no unopened packs - the 1972 ATGs and the 1975 set.
Is it possible that the 1972 ATG set used the exact same card as the 1970 Rold Golds for Pop Tart boxes and then changed the copyright line for factory sets? I have a bunch of 1970 Rold Gold unopened packs.
Are 1975s that difficult to find or are people hoarding them since these cards are difficult to find in nice condition?
No pictures since I've got nothing from these two sets.
UPDATE - all I have to do is ask? Hours later there are a bunch of unopened 1975s on ebay now. I guess I should talk bout getting more of the 1994 Clementes which I don't see frequently.
The 1975s are going to have to go to someone else. I'm not a big fan of buying one at a time.
The 75s are difficult to find as the set was only available from buying a ton of boxes - no send in offer that year.. So the collectors open more of them to complete the set..
