I think (but I haven't done any research), that all of the post war cards use Senators except 1955 Topps and 1956 Topps, which use Nationals.

Anyone remember the 1969 Nabisco Team Flakes poster offer on the back of the box? I cut those out into individual cards and still have them. No insignia's on the players caps or uniforms though which I didn't care for.

That Nabisco set is so raw & gritty, perfect images for the turmoil of 1969. It's really quite a unique set.

There's a complete box of 1969 Team Flakes on Ebay for $6,000.

My family is huge, so there were a ton of us kids running around, and a never-ending supply of sugary cereals. During summertime, I learned one lesson and I learned it fast. Get up first and check the amount of cereal left in the open boxes. (We weren't allowed to open a new box just to grab the 3-D card, we had to wait until one was empty and then it was open warfare between my brothers and I to get to the bottom of the box to grab that wonderful three dimensional treasure it held.) Having this reconnaissance meant that if the Corn Flakes were low enough to possibly be finished off by the next kid, I would sit in the background and wait for one of my siblings to start pouring a bowl...and when they started doing that 'final shake' to free the last remnants of sugary goodness from the inner waxy bag, I would spring to life and say something like, "Oh, that one's done. Let's open this new one, so I can eat too!" Before they knew what hit them, I was staring at a fantastically shiny new Ralph Garr card!!!

Funny you mentioned Ralph Garr, Darren, as that's the Kellogg card I most remember getting. On a short family driving vacation in early 1972, we bought a box of Kellogg's cereal and I plucked the Ralph Garr card out of the box. At that time, I thought I knew all the major league players, but I had never heard of Garr, that's the first time I saw a card of him. One of the Kellogg sets had a card of Tony Horton, that was a guy that was never on a Topps card.
