1975 & 1977 Kellogg's 10's .....

Drew1122

It appears that these 2 years are much tougher % wise to grab a 10, more so than say the 1976 cards !! any ideas why ?? I recently started my 1976 Kellogg set, Drew V's on the Registry, and im looking to start submitting from 75 and 77, so i figured let me ask the experts out here ......thanks,

I just submitted several 1975's, and although many came back as 9's, the rest ranged from 2 to 8 (only a couple of 2's, which probably cracked on their way out to the warmer climes of southern California). I'm not computer savvy enough to paste thread links, but maybe some else could provide them regarding prior discussions on this topic in August and September. I can say from experience however, that in general graded 1975's are very tough, and although 1977's are not really that tough, they are also not quite so common. I currently have the #2 1975 set and the #1 1977 set, and I can't say I have seen 10's in 1975, although I do have one in my 1977 set.

Hey Andrew... the 75 set is certainly a tough one. The 77's, on the other hand, are a bit easier to complete........IN PSA 9!!!

NOW...Let's talk about 10's..... Always tough, regardless of the year. There are "easier" 10's that come along (if that is possible) like the 82's for example, but even that set will cost you a dozen years of your time and 100's of submissions to get a complete set of 10's. Almost always, the 10's, are easier to aquire already graded. I've got over 700 PSA 9's available (shameless plug..I know...) of all the years. This is a direct result of chasing 10's and ending up with a ton of dup 9's..Oh well...Got a few dup 10's too, but only trade them for other 10's that I need. Kinda' 1 for 1, both collectors win, kinda' deal...

So go ahead and jump into the Kellogg's Karnival and have some fun!!!


(Announce that you are starting a 1970 set and THEGEMMINTMAN will bring out the Kool-Aid Rocker to greet you...hee..hee...)


Best of luck on whatever set you collect...K or non-K....
