I completely agree with Scott. One more thing... How in the HELL did I miss this restaurant supply rack the first time around! That is killer Rick. So let's hear the story. How did ya find it Rick?

Similar to Rick's, although not as rare because I'm guessing there are a lot more examples of Kellogg's around. I need to get on the ball and find some single-serving boxes.

No great story this time, guys...just good eyes, as the item was partially buried in a crowded booth. Rob, that Kellogg's rack is in superb condition...so good that I fear adding any single-serving boxes might scratch it up. Better leave that to me.

Wow, great Baer piece, Rick! That Rippled Wheat Dempsey is one of two, a small diecut piece about the size of a cabinet card and a large display piece showing him waist-up. Ive got the former; would like to own the latter.

Don't really know what this is ?? Heavy stock...thoughts?

Unfortunately, I think it's a recent reprint of a 1956 Wheaties magazine ad. The original ad was printed in color. The one in your post is part of the growing number of "flea market" cardstock creations, intentionally aged to give an impression of being vintage. The original ad can easily be found for less than $10. It's a classic image, very similar to the Hall of Fame calendar series of the mid 1950s.
