My All-Time Favorite Star Wars Set: 1983 Kelloggs ROTJ Picture Name Decoder Disks

transparent

These are my all time favorite Star Wars related set, they came in Kelloggs Corn Flakes and Rice Bubbles breakfast cereal (8 different in each brand for a total of 16 in the set), only in Australia in 1983. I'm still missing a few to complete my PSA set, but this is a great start. I'll post scans of a few as soon as the cards arrive in the mail. I have gotten a few good deals on these, but most of my MINT cards (which in some cases required multiple purchases to find the right ones) cost me around $125.00 each (estimated, incuding postage/wire transfer fees/losses on non-mint cards/grading/etc.).

These are very flimsy, and the cards can be damaged (particularly by stress on the perforations) even in their unopened packages, so I'm very excited to have them protected in their PSA holders. These cards have a rub off portion that hides a secret code, and are perforated across the center. If you were to scratch off the front and then decode the message (against the translator on the cereal box) to find that your card was a winner - you would rip off the bottom portion of the card at the perforations and send it in to claim your prize! These are especially rare to find as full circles, unscratched.
