1979 Kellogg's Variations

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.

McCovey in pack with both marks. Matches the one on the set sheet.

Hi,

The Phillies logo is not the only one that has variations in this set. So far I've seen the Reds, Cubs, Cardinals and Royals logo with easy-to-see variations. Others seem to have slight changes - Twins, Tigers, others?
