1971 Kelloggs future value
Guffy
Posts: 69
I read the other post about 71 Kelloggs and thought I would add my two cents.
I've followed card collecting for over 30 years and I can't imagine a scenario that the 1971 Kellogg's wouldn't become extremely valuable in the years to come. The problem is that you can't find them. I don't collect for the appreciation (though I don't mind it) but as the registry starts to become more and more popular, the 71 Kelloggs cards will, IMO, carry 7-10 times the value of the other Kellogg cards. It's almost moot however, because you can't make money on cards that you can't find. I've been searching for years to find nice 71 Kelloggs football cards and had very little luck (almost all are cracked).
Which begs the question "What if a card cracks after PSA has graded it?" Is that possible?

They might be 7 times as scarce as the 1970, but there are 25 times as many collectors for those 70's
BTW, how do you come up with 7 to 10 times the value of other Kellogg's cards?
Gemmintman, I believe that Guffy came up with the figure as the 71's are allegedly 7 times scarcer. My feeling is that what value does a card with a population of 5 have if there are only three collectors who want it?
Don't get me wrong, I own a few but I do not pursue
I have to agree with you, the eye appeal of the '71 issue is just not as good as the '70 Kellogg's.
'70 KELLOGG'S ARE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE.
Accept no imitations.
The ayes have it by acclaim. The 1970's ARE THE Kellogg's set to collect
If I might add as further proof of how "popular" the 71K set is, had I posted the derrogatory comments on any other set, there would have been numerous responses defending this set, how wrong I am, how I should get a life, who the **** do I think that I am, how I'm going to get beaten up at the next National, etc.
Instead.....nothing........not a word. just the sound of crickets chirping in the field.......................

When I started reading this, I was sure that I would hear just the sound of "stuffing a beaver"
Jay, you didn't post for a few days. Were you off getting your son squared away in the military. If so, I wish him well!

These comments are taken as fact on these boards, and actually included in the CU Forums User Guide. No reason to state the obvious

Clean white border, stark deep blue contrasting inner border. Photo quality of the players is sharp and clear; IMO better and clearer register. The 1970 issue had kind of a murky, swirly look to it. The overall brightness and use of color makes this 1971 issue my favorite.
I have talked about building this set in a modest way; I was trying to start this thing with a PSA 9 Gaston but got outbid on a PSA 9. Not modest enough I guess.
All of the Kelloggs issues are interesting in their own right for their place in the hobby history. And in every way the registrants efforts on both of these issues are amazing.
Since I dont yet own a single Kelloggs card I voice these opinions humbly.

Anyone got a stray 71' Kelloggs PSA 9 to get me started?
Finally someone jumps in to defend the 1971's. I was getting quite discouraged!
Ray, here are you defending the 71's, and yet you don't even own one. The one you wanted was snatched away from you by one of those 71 collectors, the same ones that are not defending their set after my BS attacks, I mean my honest assessment of the set.
Step away from the dark side, come to the warmth and light that the 1970's offer.
I'll GIVE you a 1970 K PSA 9 NQ just to get started.
PM me your address and it will be on its way to you
Who knows maybe I will fall in love with that murky, swirly look you treasure so!
Sounds like their is plenty of moral support for such an endeavor!
I will PM you.
Thanks.

Z - If you get a chance, go back and read my previously posted thread about 71' Kelloggs if you have not already. You will see why I remember the whole 3D thing so fondly. Do you mind if I call you Z? :-)
Gentlemen: I am declaring war on the 1970 Kelloggs collectors. You can have your Tom Hallers and your God-for-saken Seattle Pilots and take a flying leap. As for me, I am looking for a 1970 Kelloggs Joel Horlen card to pick my nose.

RayB - There is still time to correct your error. You haven't been infected with the '71 plague yet. Come to over the '70 camp and be cool like us
<< <i>Gentlemen: I am declaring war on the 1970 Kelloggs collectors >>
Guffy - LOL, but you remind me of General Custer
I sincerely hope that Mr. Mint will be giving out whoopie cushions next year. Somehow the sound of flatulance throughout the exhibit hall as you assault me with that future family heirloom, should certainly generate a thread on this board in excess of 300 posts.
As for total war between the 70 and 71 guys, er have you noticed that you are still alone?
It's OK we can help.
If you'll abandon this foolish defence of 71's and say that you want to collect 70's, I'll send you a PSA 9 FREE to help you over this malady.

I really like those 1971 Kellogg's cards. Way better than the 70s, I don't know that I would ever overcome this malady...

Don't do it, it's a trap! You'll be buying cards from Zardoz forever like me
So, Zardoz, are you the one who sent in over 200 Bob Gibsons which got 9's so you can give them out for free?

I have made absolutely no secret in my "business model" as a "pusher" of the hypnotic 3-D 1970 Kellogg's cards. The first one gets them hooked, and then they are mine.

Ian, why would you join a sinking ship? Besides you don't want to be placed in one of Zardoz's 3-D Concentration Camps. You're young. Why throw your life away like that?
Thanks, Zardoz
Now that is a great line!
Ian
It's not too late for you. You are more than welcome to join us. Just think about it. Seventy-five cards, an inexpensive vintage set brimming with HOFer's, and a support group that is unparalleled within the collecting community. You just can't find a better combination anywhere.
Ian
Quite a bit!
a good dent on the set
Ian
Ahh the folly of youth.
Psst, Hey Zardoz. Have any Keloggs football?
You asked if it was possible for a Kellogg's card to crack after being PSA graded, and I gave an example that it can happen.

What the hell did you do to that card?
I have handled one or two Kellogg's cards, and never have I seen anything like that.
Put in in the freezer and then under a sunlamp? Don't laugh, I'm going to experiment all day.
Does Kelloggs have a set every year from 70-83? How difficult is it to get Rose Kelloggs cards?
1970 football?
What makes you think that I have any interest in that set? Merely because is has so many HOFer's in it, decent to look at and hard to find in good shape is no reason to assume I am accumulating (and not very successfully I might add) this nice set? errrrrrrrr, I mean rotten waste of time nothing piece of garbage that people should dispose of as soon as possible. However, it just so happens that, as a charitable act, I will take off people's hands.
I keep it on the dashboard of my car, just like all my other cards.
Actually, it looks much worse in the scan than it does person.

I'll keep the seller in mind and see if the lot is available next month.
Zardoz- On a serious note, I don't follow or collect Kelloggs, but after reading all your posts/brain washing I'm considering doing the sets in football. Are they really that hard to find? Any info or nuances I should know about these sets before I start to collect them? I'm already torturing myself with trying to do the 71 baseball set. I don't need any further anxiety. LMK
Do 1971 Kelloggs cards have 7 to 10x the value of other Kelloggs cards ?
