I've seen 1973 Kellogg's blank backs as well as panels with blank backs. I have no idea how they originated but it isn't difficult to guess. I would not have guessed this.
The listing linked below has an opened factory set with the wrapper. There is damage to the wrapper and many of the cards. The oddity is the idea that six of the panels have blank backs. Has anyone ever opened a factory set to find only some with blank backs?
Odd 1973 Kellogg's Set on eBay
If this has happened before, would it be the same panels? Wouldn't these panels or blank back individual cards be easier to find that the other ones?
Here are the ones with blank backs.
Seaver - Cuellar - Coleman
Davis - Kingman - May
Garr - Perry - Grich
Morgan - Blyleven - Rudi
Brock - Broberg - Sanguillen
Kaline - Dierker - Santo
Is it possible that by the way the panels are packaged that the blank back panels didn't get stained like the other panels?
Never seen a 1973 factory set... but this auction is pretty cool. Already up to $50-something dollar. I wonder how high it'll sell for.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though the 1973 factory set is much easier to find than any others before 1979.
ReplyDeleteDid any of you purchase this one?
