It's such a shame about Kellogg's 3-D cards. Grabbing one out of a big box of flavored sugar (OK, I mean cereal) was one of the best things ever when you were a kid, but who knew how badly they would curl up and crack over time. Tony the Tiger kept that secret to himself. If that didn't happen, how frickin' awesome would it be collecting those thick, magically colorful sets with all of the star power and a wealth of variations?? The funny thing is, when I see those cards now (on the left coast) at shows or in shops (of course, I mean back before the end of the world came), they look perfect. The lack of humidity is such a beautiful thing for those cards, so I wonder if the ones that originated from boxes of Frosted Flakes out here will always remain perfect, unlike their New York (which seemingly has a 90% cracking quotient) counterparts?? Oh well.

Another curious thing to think about is the POP reports. Not necessarily PSA specific, but overall and in general. With the seemingly high percentage of Kellogg's cards cracking over time, if you have a really nice one (graded or ungraded) in your collection, chances are the number of equivalent cards out there is much smaller than you could imagine.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
