1979 Kellogg's Variations

[FireGardy]

I've only seen a couple sealed ones, but they contained the Carew I already have. It would help immensely if all sellers scanned the back of the card, but I can understand why they wouldn't on these cards because they go for so little money. I actually cleaned out most of the Beckett Marketplace blindly about a year ago and got only the common version, so I've got more than 10 of that one. I have a couple on scarf versions; I got lucky that a couple got listed on ebay around the same time. If I could find the third '79 Kellogg's, a '77 Hostess #3, and the million or so Carousel back variations, I think I'd be about done with food issues for Carew.

I love the Kelloggs cards as well. I don't know if I have shared these as of yet. If I have forgive me. These are the die cut art proofs for a few of the 1980 set. The cards are to give you an idea of the scale. I have never seen any others for sale anywhere. Have you ever encountered similiar pieces?

I believe I saw you unleash those babies on another message board. I've never seen anything else like them, and I bet they would bring a decent pile of change. Thanks for sharing.

No worries. They are definitely worth repeating.

Does this mean there is not a third Carew? I have been told by every person I have asked with a factory set that they have the same set of marks. Is there someone with a set on here that can confirm that? The only difference I see is a print dot by the 153 in games played in 1974. I have 2 or 3 with this mark. Thoughts? Thanks.

Matches the Carew in the pack. I guess I'm done with this one.

I have seen quite a few sealed 1979 Kellogg's cards and I had never seen one with a registered trademark next to the team emblem until your scan of the sealed 1979 Carew. I just took for granted that there would be a second printing card similar to the Zahn that I have, looks like I was wrong. Maybe there are only two different Carews and the third one doesn't exist. As far as that print dot theory, there are eight 1979 Kellogg's Rod Carew cards currently on CheckOutMyCards and only one of them has the print dot.
