I personally have several hundred Wheaties complete boxes from recent years. Many are commemorative type of sporting events.
Do any members remember an offer that Wheaties advertised? Send in a picture of your own, and they would reproduce it on a Wheaties Box just like they would a player. I did this and have it framed in a special hard plastic clear case made for the purpose. Perfect condition. Maybe I should send it in for grading?

Your second response is a clear turnaround to your first post with the heading " They are not cards never were cards"
As for your suggestion that they "could"be cataloged they are in fact cataloged in The ACC, Sports collectors Bible, Sterling Sports card Guide, Every volume of the Beckett guide and The Sports Collectors Digest guides. In fact I cannt think of any comprehensive guide of Baseball cards that dose not catalog the Wheaties series from 1935 to 1939 and beyond.
I am glad that although you could not convince your Mom to drop a Wheaties box in the shopping cart, you spent your own hard earned dollars buying several Hundred!!! Please share some pictures..
