    I'm bummed that I don't qualify since I had a near set that was listed on the registry. Now if only you would do this with a set that I haven't started say T206, '34 Goudey, or Old Judge, I would be the 1st to enter image Seriously! Nice effort by GEM & ZARDOZ to bring more collectors into the zany, nutty world of Kellogg's...jay

    I just finished the test. I feel like I either aced the five questions or failed horribly. No doubt that there"s no in between.
    I collect the 1960 and 1961 Nu Card issues. I also enjoy the 1959 Fleer Three Stooges.

    I don't think you should pay any mind to the answer to question number two. The big Kool-Aid rocker upstairs will take care of him once he reaches the great bowl of Frosted Flakes in the sky, and punish him for his wrong-doings. For now though, let him do himself in, the big pitcher will take care of him once his day arrives!

    1) Trick question. The 1970 Kelloggs set is a modern, and not a vintage set. Though we may be getting older, with expanding waistlines, and graying or balding hair -- just because this set is now 32 years old does not qualify it for vintage. A vintage 3-D technology set is the 1968 Topps 3-D's. Though the 1970 Kellogg's set is the start of something revolutionary and amazing -- it is simply the beginning of a long series of sets that (unfortunately) become increasingly boring because of their mundaneness and lack of innovation over years upon years of the same thing.

    2) Another trick question. Any Utopian society whereby thegemmintman is a dictator is a soma-induced Brave New World in which I want no part.

    3) Davalillo, of course

    4) This Board and Registry do not support the consumption of any "liquid refreshment" that is sold only in 40 ounce containers.

    5) Tony the Tiger and Dilbert.

    I have always said that MikeSchmidt was the smartest guy on the boards. His response number one was was particularly well said. The 1970 Kellogg set started a run of bad modern sets that true vintage collectors have rightfully ignored until Gemmy and Zardoz tried to reinvent them.
    Jay--come on--you are a smart guy and you don't really want to publicly side with them do you?

    Yes, yes it is!

    Let's be fair. The 68 Topps issue was a test issue with very limited distribution. Very, very, very limited. One might almost say is was designed for an elite segment of society that looked down upon the average collector with disdain. An elitist group that wanted to deny the wonders of 3-D technology to the average guy. Smacks of being Anti-American to me!!!

    But who should come to the rescue in 1970? That's right, those fun folks in Battle Creek, Michigan, who made available these VINTAGE wonders to every man, woman, and child across our fair land. What home does not have a box of cereal in the kitchen? So democratic in their distribution to one and all, regardless of race, creed, color, or place of national origin.

    America stands tall because of the 1970 Kellogg's set. Let us bow our heads and give it the respect it so richly deserves.

    Zardoz,
    You are right!!!!!!!!, I just went and burned my extra Boog Powell '68 3-d ................................. I used to think all Xographs were created in the same spirit, but now I see that only Commies and Queers would collect them.
    I'm gonna have to get my set from the bank and throw it in the river, besides I need room for all those 70's you are gonna send me.
    For my money both 70 and 71 Kelloggs sets are Vintage.

    Anyway Schmidty's answer to question # 1 was full of contradictions. For example how can a '68 Topps 3-D set be vintage, but a '70 Kellogg's 3-D is modern? BTW, the '68 3-D set has those lame azz rounded corners. Those remind me of those Mother's Cookies cards from the 80's. The '70 Kellogg's set is the true VINTAGE choice.

    "Anyway Schmidty's answer to question # 1 was full of contradictions. For example how can a '68 Topps 3-D set be vintage, but a '70 Kellogg's 3-D is modern? "

    You have to draw the line somewhere -- and unfortunately you lose, gemmintman. Don't worry, though -- we'll still nod our head appreciatively at the over-produced 1964 Topps Giants set...... that is sort of vintage, after all!!




    It's actually kind of funny. Y'all are haggling over whether 1968, 1970, 1973, or 1980 are the "cut-offs" between vintage and modern. In fact, I think many collectors would dismiss the whole argument altogether. 1970 may be the cut-off between modern and classic -- but any true vintage card was produced before WWII.

    Don't confuse Old and Vintage. You're gonna sit there and tell me the 1952 Topps set is modern??
    The way cards were collected changed right around 1971-73 (to my recollection).
    Plastic holders and "shows" began, vintage cards ended the day adults started buying cards to put away for posterity and wouldn't let us kids put our cards in our bike spokes any more. Perceptions of the game also changed around this time, thanks to free-agency.
    The Golden Age was just a memory and the 2 biggest icons, Mays and Aaron were the end of the era to me. When I saw the 1976 Topps card set, I knew it was time to start chasing girls in ernest and pine for a real motorcyle.

    I consider those cards as OLD VINTAGE and these as NEW VINTAGE ... kidding.

    I heard somewhere that if the item is over 25 years old, consider it vintage. Now card collecting fall into a whole new realm with many obvious different categories. I simply choose the following - 19th Century, Pre-War, Vintage to 1980, and Modern. PSA classifies Vintage as 1974 and PRIOR on their order forms as well.

    I think there are many collectors out there who feel this way. A 1955 Bowman is vintage as well as 1970 Kelloggs - different, yet the same.

    By the way, if I was holding a Big Head Joe D in PSA 3-4, I would be a happy collector .....

    I've been meaning to ask the 1970 Kelloggs collectors this question for a long time: For those of you who bought the packs, what have you all done with your iron-on patches? I actually sent a Cubs patch to PSA for a big Cubs collector and they wouldn't slab it. Are your shirts or bed sheets covered with these patches or are you saving them for that magical day when someone decides they'll actually pay some money for them? Just curious.....
  • thegemmintmanthegemmintman Posts: 3,101 ✭✭


    << <i>For those of you who bought the packs, what have you all done with your iron-on patches? >>



    I was just discussing this with Zardoz a couple of weeks ago. It's unfortunate that PSA won't grade them since I have about 300 of them.

    I may have to start a kontest on the Kellogg's patches but only after they become valuable or when hell freezes over. In the interim they make great handi wipes image.

    You know Dude you are eligible for the kurrent kontest if you decide that you will start the set up again image.

    It's funny, during the grading heyday in late '99, I was out at PSA's office and they told me they were grading 60% vintage. I was quite impressed - 60% of their submissions were vintage! Then I found out that "vintage" was pre-90...

    To each their own - by that standard, Kelloggs cards are ANCIENT...

    Maybe set the cutoff at '77, BSC and ASC. Before crazysc, after crazysc
    Why do I get the feeling, that some cards are worth money, while others are not?

    As I've always said, anything more recent than 1888 Yum Yums are modern drivel, and anything more common than 1923 Lections cards are overproduced.

    Of course, that leaves me with zero cards in my collection, but at least I remain true to my principles . . .

    Here's my rule of thumb:

    Vintage = something my dad would have collected as a kid (or before)

    Modern = something I would have collected.

    Given that the late 1960s/1970s pose a gap to this rule of thumb, I think of many of those cards as being classic...but not yet vintage.

    Schmidty, you weren't even born when the VINTAGE '70 Kellogg's 3-D were first produced.

    Here's my rule of thumb:

    Schmidty not born yet = VINTAGE
    Schmidty born = modern

    P.S. Your dad loved these cards and is still keeping a massive collection in a secret hiding place.
