Kelloggs Horlen too cheap

I thought Gemmint's last 1970 Horlen buy was a fluke. Looks like tonite's is going for a song as well. Can anyone explain this? I don't even collect the set (remember I'm a 71 guy) and I'm tempted to bid on it.

Horlen PSA 9

High grade Redskins (pre 1980)
1954/LEO
Actually, the majority of Horlens were scratched up in the manufacturing process, a giant "V" carved into the design at the top from a gripper or something. The McDowell comes in god shape, so readily available in 8's and above.
Of course there's always room for another K collector
<< <i>What I still don't get is how a Horlen PSA 9 with a pop of 7 can go for $142, and a McDowell PSA 10 with a pop of 4 can go for less than half???? This 3-D stuff freaks me out..... >>
You're right. The McDowell should go for more. I've got a spare McDowell PSA-10 which I will gladly sell you for $142

I was wondering when someone was going to mention his card.
I wish my momma fed me Kellogg's cereal instead of boobies when I was a kid. I take that back......
Initially I thought I would do 3D just for fun; now I am now thinking about selling my car :-D
Is this what happens?
Oh...and by the way...thanks Zardoz !

Yes, those were very good prices and are not typical unless there's heavy supply on Ebay.
Zardoz - are you still spreading Kellogg's sunshine to the masses?

'70 Kellogg's Kranepool PSA 8
That has to be a record price for a Kellogg's grade of 8.
Horlen and May are the current toughies, but there are some that are still a very good challenge to acquire. Do you have POP report access?

Other toughies are Cullen, Singer, Reichardt, Powell,Epstein, Haller, Crawford, and Alou. Finally, even 1 of 20 pops can go for $50 at times so you just never know.

I plead innocent!
I love the name of the set too...
"The - Gee I Hate Corn Flakes But I Sure Love These Cards! - Ray Boehm Set - 19th Current Finest Set "
Of course Kellogg's Co. may not be too happy with that.
In case you didnt get a chance to read about my K card adventures as a kid I'll paste them here again in this post. Collecting this stuff is all about resurrecting my youth anyhow. Enjoy.
The 1970 Kelloggs set is overwhelming popular here; just look at the number of registrants to that set on the registry.
As a kid I didnt pay that set any particular mind; probably because most of the product was inserted in Corn Flakes which I hated.
1971 Kelloggs, however was a different story.
My grammar school buddies collected the 71's and I would not be undone.
I "choked down" those first couple of boxes of Corn Flakes at the rate of 2-3 bowls a day!
This got old real fast especially if you "pulled" a Danny Cater for your troubles.
My best friend and I had a brainstorm. We would pool our paper route resources, ride by bicycle, and buy boxes of Corn Flakes at the grocery store ( smallest box that still enclosed the card) and dig the card out and ditch the box in the dumpster behind the store. This way our Mom's wouldnt have to force us to eat any more but still not know what we were up to.. This clandestine operation lasted a couple three weeks and we quickly realized we couldnt keep up with the 71' king at school.
Turned out he had 3 little brothers and they all loved Corn Flakes. Truth is those kids probably would have eaten the shingles off a house if it meant getting a Kelloggs card. I think their Mom always wondered how they were able to consume 1 box per day! It was amazing; every day at school this kid would be showing us a new card! Seaver, Gibson, McCovey, Rose this kid had them all!
Oh for the good ol' days!
Lo and behold Kelloggs is alive again thanks to PSA and those loyal 3D legionaires!
I notice that only a couple of people are registered on the 1971 set. For obvious reasons I am drawn to the vibrant colors and clear photography of that particular issue. I'll ask the 3D'ers why they think there aren't more people collecting this set? I was thinking about jumping in, in a modest way.
Hope you enjoyed the little story. :-)

I don't know about that RayB. It sounds to me like you've just joined the Allied Forces.
It's all fun, and that's how we like it and keep it.
At the rate the collector base is expanding with this set, it is just a matter of time before the 1970 Kellogg's is the most popular set, not only on the registry, but on the entire planet. You heard it here first.
We are the "Masters of The Collecting Universe" !

Z- If your the Johnny Appleseed of the 3D world then I guess that Gemmint is the Pied Piper of the 3 D world , tooting the laurels of the Kellogg's sets and having us follow him blindly into the sea of 3 D.

Yup we're just a couple of fictional characters created by Kellogg's Co, kind of like Tony the Tiger.
I was the poor Sap who got outbid on this one ! Would have thought $130+ would have won it ... Definitely have some tough new bidders out there.....I am also seeing some new bidders on the 74 Kellogg's as well....
