The
1978
Kellogg's baseball card set consist of 60 cards that measure
approximately approximately 1 15/16" by 3 1/4".
The plastic covered cards were made to look 3-D. The cards were
individually inserted in specially marked boxes of Kellogg's cereal
or as a set from the company for box-tops. Three different
press runs produced numerous variations in this set. The first two
printings were included in cereal boxes, while the third printing
was for the complete set mail-in offer.
Variations:
Forty-seven cards have three variations, while thirteen cards
(4, 6, 9, 15, 19, 20, 30, 33, 41, 43, 45, 51, and 54) are unchanged
from the second and third printings. The three printings may be
distinguished by the placement of the registered symbol by Tony the
Tiger and by team logos. In the third printing, four cards (16, 18,
22, 44) show the "P" team logo (no registered symbol), and
card numbers 56 and 57 omit the registered symbol by Tony.
