Kellogg's Komments

1. Somewhat confused over the lower prices for 1970 Kellogg's baseball. True, there's over ten people that have now completed the set and they are, for the most part, out of the market, but there's a total of 21 people with more than 20% complete. I would think the market would remain strong. About a month ago I thought the higher prices ($20 for medium pop commons in PSA 9) for 1970 Kellogg's baseball were over but now I'm not so sure. I think a ton of it hit PSA and e-bay at the same time and the prices will go back up. I am also assuming that the people that are currently at 100% are not going to break up their sets and move on to something else. If that happens over and over again, the softer market is probably with us to stay. Sometimes I think I'm the only person on these boards that doesn't have that set on the Registry.

2. 70 K Football is hot. There are now seven people at over 20%. From a market standpoint, there's a ton of that stuff out there. Those prices are sure to fall before they go up.

3. The 71 K Baseball registry now has four people over the 20% mark. Still very few graded cards coming to market and PSA seems to be getting tougher and tougher with their 71 Kelloggs grading. Even unopened raw doesn't seem to produce 9's anymore. Long term, I think you'll see people accepting 7's for their registry sets. From watching e-bay it appears there are a handful of people putting this set together in graded form that are not part of the Registry.

4. 71 Kelloggs football-No cards, no collectors. Just me, off in a room by myself looking at my cards. I'm thinking about holding a 1971 Kelloggs football Registry convention. I'll speak and then clap. Maybe I'll give myself a PSA 8 of Harmon Wages as a door prize.

5. 72-73-74 Kellogg's baseball-Here's where the action is. Six people have reached the 20% mark with the 72 set and 8 have reached the 73 and 74! Not sure about supply differences however the 73 set figures to be plentiful in high grade because they can't crack (no 3-d coating).

6. 75 Kellogg's-Someday, this market will take off. People involved in the Registry like a challenge and there seems to be a limited enough supply to make it interesting. I'm sitting on a couple of sets. Just need someone to kick me in the butt to get me going.

7. 76 to 83 Kelloggs- I'm interested in hearing from the King on these sets as he knows a lot more than I. The 76 set seems to have it's own little fan club. There are five serious (defined as 20% complete) registry collectors. 1977 through 83 isn't attracting much attention except the 82 set has four people at 20% or higher. Just a blip? Or the sign of a trend? Don't know.

By the way, I've been selling singles from one of those 71 Baseball Proof sets (no plastic coating) on e-bay. Clemente went for $175 and the Mays went for $99. Commons going between $10 and $30 on e-bay. Not sure what I expected. Still have half the set to go.
Strong buyer of 1970 Kelloggs Football & 1971 Kelloggs Baseball and Football. Please help me find cards!
I have a few hundred extra PSA graded 1971 Kellogg's cards. E-mail for price list. Looking for 1970 Topps Supers in PSA 9 too.

    I've thought about this too regarding all sets in general. Since the registry started, many people have been chasing many sets. What happens when most of them finish most of the sets they are chasing? I think for stuff that is abundant, the prices would surely have to come down. It's all supply and demand. Nice, hard to find stuff will hold or increase in value. What amazes me is 1975 Topps Baseball. With nearly 40,000 cards graded, the demand is far surpassing the supply on the mint stuff. It will all balance over time, just don't overpay now on stuff that will drop, and don't let the good stuff get away that will go up in value. The challenge is to determine which is which.
  • If you are looking for a neat production piece from a 3D set, check this item out - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2722620720&category=204

    The seller doesn't have the item identified correctly. It is a piece used in the production of the Bill Lee Kellogg's card from 1976. A high quality sharp crisp clear photo with any needed touchups or highlights was mounted on thick board and cut to shape the figure. The back was cut at an angle and offset a bit so that when it was place on top of the background pattern and photographed, it helped give the photo a floating look to it which helped with the 3D effect.
