Kelloggs cards-Why no Aaron?

I used to love these cards back in the late 70's and early 80's. I have been looking to start either a 1970 or 1971 set in the registry. I know the 71 set is much harder and more expensive. My question is why wasn't Hank Aaron included in these sets?

    Topps had individual contracts will all its baseball players. Kellogg's went through the players union - not all signed on

    But like yourself, I was disppointed with the missing stars (especially the 1971 set - which I have complete).

    TheHun, what kind of card is this? It's really cool, I haven't seen them.

    They are from my high school boredom class (over 20 years ago) - I sketched the missing stars from the 1971 set. I was p*ssed they were excluded.
