I still have my set in the original binder. It was the prettiest set I had ever seen : the greatest players ever , great pictures in a 3D background , good career summaries plus a facsimile autograph that started me writing to HOFers and players for autographs.
I ate a bunch of Danish Go - Rounds that summer , and thankfully our neighbors helped out too by giving me a couple cards for the set .

I was born and raised in Battle Creek and can remember the smell of cereal most mornings. Had many friends parents work at the company and we would get all kinds of free cards etc. However I have no idea where there’s are located now.

About the only thing that spoiled the summer of '72 for me was the frustration of trying to finish that relatively small set. Mickey Cochrane eluded me until late summer. I remember being force-fed those Danish Go-Rounds, as I came from a family that did not believe in wasting food, and those Danish Go Rounds really stretched the definition of food....... About a year and a half later, when I attended my first sports collector's show, you could buy a full set for a dollar....

Danish Go-Rounds were Pop-Tarts on steroids. Loved 'em and the cards. I am still piecing together the set. I think I am down to one card. They are getting harder to find uncracked in nice shape for a reasonable price.

I have a box back; would love to find a complete box.

For me it was Raisin Bran, got a new box every week and a card. Later I ate my share of Twinkies as well for those panels.

Twinkies sold in packs with the individual card were like the Cracker Jack cards that preceded them 60 years before. The stains on the cards give'm a little bit of character.

Neat post - it was a fun read. Thank you!
