Mickey Mouse's Baseball Game Post Toasties
 

Hi-
I recently acquired the cereal box cutout scanned below and I had a few questions regarding it that I was hoping someone might be able to help with.
1. When was this cereal box issued?
2. What does the full box look like?
3. Rudimentary googling showed only one other, are they considered rare?
Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Here's a full version of the game.

The front of the box would've looked something like this.

Here's a page with a bunch of cereal box fronts and backs. The Post Toasties Corn Flakes are about half way down. The baseball one isn't here, but there's a bunch of other Disney related material to give you a general idea.

Thanks David! I am still curious as to the year of issue on this one. Does anyone have any ideas? The Mickey looks early to me, but I am not sure.

Just found this as well. No specific reference to the baseball, but a brief history of Post Toasties and the Mickey Cut-outs. From this, I'd probably date it somewhere in the mid 30's. 34 or 35 maybe?

I'm pretty sure it's from 1936. The Silly Symphony cartoon "Tortoise and the Hare" was released in 1935 and "Three Little Wolves" (a sequel to Three Little Pigs") came out in 1936. The art for Mickey matches the style used on another Post Toasties box flat in my collection (posted below)...so my money's on '36.

The baseball game's pretty common, and cutouts from boxes don't have too much value...maybe $10-$15. Still a great little addition to any collection.

Thanks Rick! I try to organize my ephemera by date so 1936 is where I will put it.
Thanks again,
Alan
