1970 Kellogg's
Contents
Description
1970 Kellogg's is a 75-card set and was the cereal maker's first venture into baseball cards. The design incorporates a brilliant color photo of the player set against an indistinct background, which is then covered with a layer of lenticular plastic to simulate a 3-D look. (The same process would be used by Sportflics in the 1980s).
The cards were individually inserted one per specially marked boxes of Kellogg's cereal. Kellogg's also distributed six-card rack-style packs which contained two iron-on team logo patches. Complete sets were also available through a mail-in offer.
Cards #16-#30 are believed to be in shorter supply than the other cards in the set.
Distribution
One card per specially-marked box of Kellogg's cereal.
Rack: Six cards plus two satin team logo patches per pack (MSRP: $0.49)
