Home PSA Set Registry Forum

If the board members can find the time...I'd like to introduce myself...I am KING KELLOGG

Thanks to all who read this thread.

I've been reading these passages for a long time now and saw how much fun you all were having that I couldn't wait any longer to get involved.

I am KING KELLOGG...Most of you know me by my eBay ID...nailman22, as I have done many buy/sells with alot of you.

My sports card collecting time span has been about 40+ years, and have traveled coast to coast to obtain these little cardboard treasures....... I really do enjoy the folks that surround this great hobby.

As you can see by my signature line, I collect a variety of cards, some older, some not....... I believe the true value of any set, no matter how diversified, is what it means to the collector, and does the collector get enormous pride and satisfaction from the challenging mission ahead!.... That's what collecting (anything) is all about..... I collect Kellogg's baseball cards, and have been since 1970, for only one reason........THEY'RE FUN!!!

Anyway fella's this might get a little long winded, but I feel even though this is the 1st. post for me, I didn't get here without a lot of help from a lot of fine people...

THANK YOU CARKIM!!!...
Carlos, You show great insight when carefully explaining collecting concepts to novices. The entire hobby should thank you.

THANK YOU ZARDOZ!!!...
Paul...Without your compassion for the human side of collecting, I would not be here today.

THANK YOU RBEATON!!!...
Robert...Thanks for the kind words on the boards. You make everybody feel welcome.

THANK YOU THEGEMMINTMAN!!!...
Without your compeititive nature, especially on eBay, I would of walked away from completing my '70 set as it would have been no fun at all.

THANK YOU QUAILTYCARDS!!!...
Jay, you are just about the funniest guy I've ever came across. Your humor cracks me up all the time. I want to do future deals with you just so I can get those crazy emails...Love 'em.

THANK YOU FB...
Frank...Without your help, I would not be in the top rows of the 1972 Topps BB registry.

THANK YOU 1420SPORTS!!!...
Neal...Your keen intrest in collecting quality cards rubs off on all of us.

THANK YOU BIGKIDATHEART!!!...
Jeff, thanks for ebay deals in the past. You're a PRO. How come you didn't get a box of Kellogg's from me???.............Pssssst ("buy a card!!!")...Don't give any of your good cards to Eli..(kids get too much slober on 'em).

THANK YOU MCASTALDI!!!...
Mike, You are one of the main reasons I joined the Registry. I found that having fun with cards was contagious.

THANK YOU DUDE!!!...
Dan, You have not only gone to the top of the Kellogg's heap (1972), but you have also given more positive awareness to those thinking about collecting "K" cards. All 3-D collectors should shake your hand.

THANK YOU MSCHMIDT!!!...
Marc, whether you think cards are vintage or not is up to you. Whether you are in camp A, or B, or XYZ makes no difference. The fact is that you have amassed a premier collection of Schmidt cards that include Kellogg's brands, and for that point, you have helped the Kellogg's awareness too. My thanks.

THANK YOU BASILONE!!!...
John, I see a strong future for you in Kelloggland. I'm sure , with your professional talent with accounting , that you came to the same conclusion that I did...With 21 (real) participants on the 1970 Kellogg's registry, the average grade for all of us is 8.968...OUTSTANDING, and you helped us get there!!!

THANK YOU RICCABONI!!!...
Ian, With your zest for youthful thinking and a few more Kellogg's cards, you could be our next Champion!

THANK YOU CALLEOCHO!!!...
I see that you and THEGEMMINTMAN make up our "bookends". With your D. Campanaris PSA 9 on the registry, that make you a contender of the future. Great job!!! Keep going!!!



and lastly....(yeah)

I know I have missed thanking many fine collectors, but I have just run out of steam!

THANK YOU BOARD MEMBERS for transferring your knowledge, compassion, and true grit to the collecting masses in whatever set you pride in!!!!

    I lived in one for 3 years...needless to say unless Zardoz breaks out his "beer bong" and we have a "co-ed mixer" there are some slight differences.

    Wow! The mysterious LARRY X, the KORRO man himself surfaces, you went from being elusive and secretive to a National celebrity, and to think all in the name of Kellogg's!!! For months, I've been pleading and begging you to join the ranks, so its nice that you finally mustered enough courage to now be seen and heard by all. And of course your wisdom and knowledge of your chosen collecting field will benefit the masses to no end!image - WELCOME ABOARD - ...jay
