This showed up today. Kellogg's distributed this basketball set of five cards in Canada during the 1995-96 season. I have four of the cards in their individual packs. This is the first time I've seen a pack that contains all five cards.
I am not surprised about the pack with the entire set since the hockey packs with Lemieux and Hull were also distributed individually and as a set.
I haven't had too much luck with getting unopened Kellogg's cards since COVID either. The Kellogg's cards shot up in price and the packs even more so. I am not really working on the 1970-71 sets since those are out of reach. Maybe when I get the other ones done I will look into this.
Card collectors will probably respond that the expensive ones will just get more expensive if I wait. I get that, but I am not concerned about that since I am close to having all of the 1970-71 cards that have been opened. I am mostly just looking for 1971 variations and 1970 shorter prints / stars at this point.
I have lots of extra unopened to trade. Here are the ones that I need.
1972 - Seaver, Rose
1973 - Ryan, Seaver
1974 - I need more than half of the set
1976 - Washington (I can trade Gullett) Carroll, Luzinski, Carew, Simmons
1977 Bostock, Cey, Fidrych, Lezcano, Koosman
Surprisingly, I have all of the 1975s. Since those never show up, I bought them as a set. I probably have only gotten three or four 1975s unopened ever before buying the set. They just don't seem to exist.
I also have some extra unopened 1994 Clementes and a few different Japanese Kellogg's cards from 2025-10 that I'd be willing to trade for packs that I need.
Impossible dream collection - I was trying to get a 1970 unopened pack with each player showing on the top. When packs were under $50 I was getting some of these.
