The arrows and color of this text seemed to vary. If anyone can add to this information, please do so.
1978 - this short box had elongated blue arrows. I also have a long box that has these same arrows and contains the 1979 set.
Below is a a1979 box.
1980 - see 1979. Here is a 1980 box.
1981 - This box size is different from 1979 and 1980 so it is easy to distinguish.
1982 - the box size and arrows are similar to 1983. The tail of the 1982 arrow seems a bit different than the 1983 tail. I will need to check to see if that is consistent for telling these two apart.
1983 - see 1982. The boxes are the same size, but there seems to be some color difference.
Does anyone have a factory box with red ink? I picked up some boxes with the red arrows. I opened one and it contained 1979 cards - red letters and thin card stock.
Some of my factory sets have their mailing labels. Does that help to determine the year?
Very cool breakdown. This will be a very useful guide if I purchase any factory sets in the future.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my main reasons for starting the blog - when I am away from home I know where to find information on Kellogg's cards. Now I've got to find older stuff.
