Chasing Kellogg's Packs

Even though I hadn't listed the unopened packs that I need from 1976, it's not for lack of interest.  This is one of my favorite sets and it always has been.  I didn't list it on the front page of the blog because I am not even close to completing it.  

I had a few reasons for starting this blog.  First, since I don't find much information online about Kellogg's cards I wanted to have a place I could put that information when I find it.  

Second, I am horrible at bringing want lists with me to shows and I am just as bad at keeping them updated.  Adding those to the blog has helped me stay organized.

Lastly, I've been able to correspond with others who have great stories and information about their collections. 

Once I am done here I am going to add to my want list on the blog.  I will list all of the cards from 1976 that I need.   

1976 Kellogg's Unopened Pack - Don Gullett?

There is a listing on ebay for the 1976 Don Gullett in an unopened pack.  Did the first three Kellogg's cards get into cereal boxes?

UPDATE - they had 10 of them and they went fast. 

1975s and 1976s and New Goals for 2020

I went through my 1975 and 1976 Kellogg's cards today.  I don't recall getting lots of 1975s as a kid even though I got lots of 1974s and 1976s from cereal boxes. 

Some of the 1976s lose their luster with all of the white border.  The nice ones look nice but the faded ones don't look so good.  That is a minor issue compared to the 1975s.  The 1975s are like two different sets.  I see so many that are so beat up, cracked, curled and discolored.  It is a lot like the 1971.

In looking through my cards, I am okay with some curling on the 1975s, but only if it allows me to at least put them in nine-pocket pages. 

For 2020, I want to upgrade about a dozen of my 1975s.  When 1975s look new the color is amazing and I want to get my set to all have that look.  I don't see these around frequently in good condition at a reasonable price.  At least I am not focusing on upgrading 1971s next year.
