Kelloggs cards?

[The-Cardfather]

After seeing this thread, I went and checked all of my Kellogg's. I've had most of them in slabs for quite a few years. I don't know why they haven't showed any signs of cracking. (Not that I'm complaining.) I keep them in a closet in my home.

In a perfect world, every single one of us would ONLY collect Kellogg's cards. They immediately send us on a time warp back to the glory days of our childhood, digging to get to the bottom of that sugary cereal goodness and claim our prize!!!!

Take the card. Leave the cereal.

Kelloggs cards seem to be getting cheaper to pick up since many dealers are getting skittish about their cards cracking some day, so they're unloading them now at discounts.

I checked my 1970 Kellogg’s over the weekend. These are cards in some cases that I’ve had stored in penny sleeves inside card savers in albums for decades. Not a crack in sight. I am thinking that cracking is a product of curling and that flat stored cards are not getting hit the same way as cards that have sat loose over the years.

A little late to the party on this thread, but I'm a big Kellogg's collector. I have a complete NM no-crack run of all the baseball sets and nearing completion on second sets for several years. Also have a NM '70 FB set and six cards away from a crack free '71 football set. I cold go on and on about Kellogg's, but the one thing I will add is that yes, a consistent environment is important, but if it has been flat for years, it will be fine. If it has been curled and then you try to store it flat it will most likely crack. I believe a lot of the ones that are graded and then crack most likely had some degree of curl prior to slabbing.

Love me some Kellogg's, fun to see this thread.

I am always looking for minty 1970 or 1972 unopened one-card packs. That said, I have a fair amount of cards from both sets that I put in 9 card sheets back in the late 70's and not a single one of them has cracked.
