I like the player selection. The bigger, yellow cards really showcase the uniforms of the different teams. Since Chicago didn't have cable yet, those were still ancient times compared to the exposure of sports today.
Factory sets from this year were quite easy to come by, and quite affordable, before COVID.
The card stock is thin and it is quite susceptible to curving. They seem to curve more often than they crack. Maybe that is because the coating also seems thinner on these cards.
Kellogg's figured out something with the 2.5 x 3.5-inch cards. It worked well with the thicker offerings in 1991 and 1992. Imagine how nice all of the Kellogg's issues would have held up if they used the 1990s technology from 1970 - 1983.
The backs have extensive write-ups. The backs will be ranked separate someday.
Love the bright yellow borders of this set. As for the size, I know the smaller size sort of gives Kellogg's its own unique charm... but I actually liked the fact that this set was standard card size.
ReplyDeleteI like the standard size more than I like the 1980 size, which is a bit too small and narrow.
