I'm beyond amazed. Yes, 1971 Kellogg's prices on e-bay have doubled since Christmas, but this deal---$267.00--for an ungraded Pete Rose is unbelievable. It's about $200 more than what I would have guessed. So what is an PSA 8 or 9 worth? Ebay listing of 1971 Kellogg's Pete Rose

    Proper K-Link

    I'm sure that's some kind of raw Kellogg's record. I do remember a raw '70 Clemente go over $200 once.

    Two things:

    First -- your link is wrong. It should be This one.


    Second -- the 1971 Kelloggs said is many, many times tougher to put together in top grade than the 1970 Kelloggs set. In my mind, the 1970 Kelloggs set is more popular simply because it is somewhat easy to put together in PSA 9. Not sure if that Rose is overprice, but the bottom line is that it is much tougher to find. Besides the Clemente and Mays card -- no other card from the set has been graded high in any significant numbers. For Rose, the 1970 Kelloggs card has a PSA 9 population 12 times that of the 1971 -- and a PSA 8 population 6 times higher than that of 1971.

    Finally -- perhaps it was a bit of an ego/bidding war going on. Bidding was only at around $75- with four hours to go -- and then three bidders took it up to the $267 level, with only two of them above $180.

    MS hits the nail on the head. The 71 set is by far tougher to find and complete, as it was not distributed in set form. As an aside, I collect Reds vintage cards and have noticed a decided price jump in all Reds vintage cards - graded and raw - not just Rose, but also Perez and even Vada Pinson. Its making my building of Reds Team Sets far more expensive than even 6 months ago.

    Schmidty - I collect the 1970 Kellogg's because I think it's a better looking set than the 1971 Kellogg's, not because it's easier to collect (which it is of course). The '71 set would be my second choice if I decided to collect another K set.

    So what's a 71 Kellogg's Clemente worth these days? Is Mays still the second most sought after card, or has the Rose become number two?
