Kellogg Collectors I Need Your Help

[insidethewrapper]

Update :

Two new variations to report that have been verified ( see attachment).
- 1970 Xograph # 2 Tom Seaver ( 1970 ERA 2.81) and # 41 Cito Gaston ( Runs 113 and RBI 122).

After all the research and help from fellow collectors it appears that a 1971 Kelloggs Master Set may be complete at 178 cards ( 98 with "1970 Xograph backs" and ( 80 with "Xograph backs").
In my opinion the "toughest" five cards are ( in no particular order):

# 7 Alou ( 1970 Oakland NL)
# 28 Wright (Angles Crest Logo)
# 54 Johnson ( Angles Crest Logo)
# 64 Fregosi ( Angles Crest Logo)
# 70 Osteen ( No Number on back)

It appears that the first printing was ( 75 cards with "Xograph" backs, they stopped the presses and changed the 5 above cards, then made all 75 cards with the "1970 Xograph " backs and then stopped the presses and changed 23 cards).

See attached enclosed charts ( NA - means not yet verified and I don't think they exist) If you have any of these please email me at :theline06@hotmail.com and I'll add to the list.

Thanks Mike

Stephen: Thanks very much for the post. This is a great find and one that has never been reported to me before. I will add to the master list. I have both of the 486 RBI's but not the 485 variation. Based on all the other variations, it would appear that the 485 variation will not exist with the (Xograph-No date). But who knows ? This is fun.

Master Set appears to now be at 179

Thanks again Mike
