That was my first thought, too. Jimmy Dudley was the main man for the Indians during that time, but the man in the photo isn't him. Still researching.

By the way, it was a sad day in my life when Danish Go-Rounds disappeared from the grocery shelves. I loved those things. How have Pop Tarts survived all these years but DGRs went by the wayside? Criminal.

Maybe it was just some dude that was way ahead of the times and wanted proof that his autographed baseballs were real?

Dude!!

I remember those Danish Go-rounds, they were awesome, wish I had some now.

Thanks for all the great comments on the Kellogg's box. I don't know when the Danish Go-Rounds went off the shelf, but I have never had any. You guys make it sound like I missed something special.

It's interesting to note that the Copyright date on the box is 1971, yet the Copyright date on the back of the cards is 1972.

Any one have a kelloggs box for the 1972 regular issue...I have a complete set in psa 9 and would love to add that as a complimentary piece...

Picked up a few different of these in early March. (my deepest apologies if it was late Feb. )

I picked up a couple of cool vintage snapshots of early no-hit pitchers tonight.

The first snapshot is of the Indians Ray "Slim" Caldwell that threw a no-hitter against the NY Yankees in 1919.

The second snapshot is of Thomas L. Hughes (Long Tom) of the circa 1906 NY Highlanders that threw 9 innings of perfection in the 1st game of a doubleheader in 1910 before finally giving up a single in the 10th inning. Hughes ended up allowing 6 more hits and ended up losing the game 5-0 to the Cleveland Naps. I actually own the only known ticket extant to this game in my collection. Long Tom ended up changing leagues and threw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1916 while he was a member of the Boston Braves.

+1

They were like extra-thick Pop Tarts. I remember the food and the cards well. I'm glad someone shared the box here!

Picked up a bronzed baseball glove to round out the collection of bronzed items.

This has nothing to do with baseball, but it does have to do with breakfast ...my second collecting love is vintage cereal boxes...just got this one in today. 1957 Sugar Crisp unopened box...someday I'd love to pick up one of the Ted Williams Sugar Crisp boxes.
