PSA Question.......................................

That makes perfect sense. Thanks to both of you. But, what about the light blue colored PSA back. Anybody know the origins of this variation.

Most Kelloggs cards are curled. When they are slabbed, they are obviously flattened out. Eventually many of them will crack.

I have subbed many of them to PSA and even a small crack knocks it down to a 6. Also have had quite a few that came back 9 or 10 that eventually cracked after slabbing.

OK, OK I get the concept. Very prone to curling and eventual cracking. But, I really have a fondness for these cards, the only sustained '70's Topps alternative.

Beyond that, I've already invested in every Kellogg's set 1970 thru 1975. The '71 and '75 didn't come cheap. So please, any suggestions on the best methods of storage. What holder is best? Any ideal temperature? Is temperature fluxuation from summer to winter an issue? ect. Thanks

I've got some Kelloggs sets in 9 pocket plastic pages in binders, they don't seem to crack in there.

They do curl up some, but that probably keeps them from cracking.

I've also got some in hard top loaders that have never cracked after years
in a top loader.

And as stated earlier I've cracked them putting them in top loaders.

Frankly, I like them best in pages in albums.

As for the 75's, it seems to me that they are overly succeptible to cracking, much more so than any other set.

Sorry to hear about the '75's, the second scarcest of the K. issues, with the 3rd not even coming close. I have a NR-MT set, so I will give your suggestions a try. Thanks again.
