Kellogg's vs Topps

JLange · #1 11-09-2014, 05:15 PM

Just wondering if there is any collector value to the 3D card "pictures" that are displayed on the box as advertising. Has anyone seen them cut out and for sale, separate from the actual 3D cards?

The '79s in particular look way nicer than the actual 3D cards themselves.

1971 and 72 box cards recently went for $15 to $25 on Ebay.

There is always some sort of market for that kind of thing, albeit a small one in some cases. I suppose it depends on how unique and hard to find an item is and if it has been accepted as a collectible by the masses.

For my collection, I would take a full box, panel or a single card cut from the box and ideally all three for a complete run. I have a 1980 Garvey card cut from a box as well as a panel (no full box that I can remember), but I guess I didn't scan it, so I don't have a picture handy.

If anyone has it I would like to see a full panel from the Danish Go-Rounds. I have a hacked partial.

Not sure what brought this to mind, but it fits in with a question in this thread. Last year I sold a bunch of Kelloggs cards in PSA 10 slabs on ebay. When I went to sell them, one of them had an enormous crack in it. I didn't hide it in my listing. I made sure that the buyer was aware.

What I want to know is this: Is this a big problem? Does this happen a lot? I ask because I am considering grabbing a few cards, and I don't want to shell out $50 for a card that in three months is worthless. Of the 37 I sold, only one was cracked. But it still concerns me. Any thoughts?

Yes. The 3D cards have always had a problem with cracking. I have tried storing them in pages, hoping to keep them from curling. After several cracked I decided to just let them curl.

The Kellogg's issues are one of my primary collecting focuses. I have a complete run of '70-'83 all with no cracks, and am working on second sets, including my second set of the tough '71s. So, I have a little experience with the cracking. Yes, you will regularly see copies that have been graded 8 and above that have cracks. Of course, these occurred after grading. Quite simply, I don't think there is any guarantee that any Kellogg's you purchased, graded or not, will never crack. I haven't had it happen to me in graded form, yet, fingers crossed, but it has happened to a few raw copies. This may or may not hold water, but if I had a choice between two similarly graded copies of any particular PSA graded card, I would purchase one in the older holder over the newer holders. My thought being that if it has been slabbed a long time and not cracked, it is less likely to crack from the stress of being forced flat in the holder than one newly slabbed. Many of these cards have some degree of curl, if that curl is forced flat it is my experience is that cracks occur. Have actually done a little experimenting on this. If I buy them and they are flat, I keep them in holders flat, if they have curl, I leave them with the curl. Another big time Kellogg's collector suggested to me, and I have done it, to keep sets in pages in albums with the albums standing up on edge so there is no weight pressing down on the cards, and I have no issues to this point. Anyway, my two, or maybe a little more, cents worth. Good luck with them.
