Question about graded Kelloggs cards

Anyone know how they hold up in slabs as far as cracking goes? Are they real tight in the cases? Im just a little skeptical about their longevity, even slabbed.

been a lot of stories about them (and '68 Topps 3D's) cracking in the case. It seems to be related to cold weather.

I had 2 crack in the cases in Southern California ('72 All Time Greats Speaker PSA 8 and '75 North PSA 8).

I have two 1970 Kellogg's - Killebrew and Oliva - PSA 10.

With cracking a possibility, should one sell immediately?

The vast majority of them do not crack.

But there is a risk, and it is greater than zero. Up to you as to whether or not you want to keep them. I personally wouldn't be putting together runs of Kelloggs sets in PSA 10 holders given this risk -- but were I submitting myself, or if it was players I especially followed, I have less of a problem with taking that risk.

Thanks for your replies. I have always liked Kelloggs cards, a great childhood memory, but dont want to spend an enormous amount if they are only going to crack in the cases.

Im sure where/how you store them would be important. Cool, dry place? Or at least where they wont have extreme differences in temperature?

I should have also posed the question if they are less likely to crack while being encased. Common sense says yes but looking for people's experience.

Thanks again for everyones input!
