Postwar Baseball - 1970s to Present Cards

Complete set of seventy-five cards grades 88% Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt (including a few Mint) and 12% lesser mostly due to surface problems, which are so common to the 3-D style issues. Cards of Tom Seaver, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, Pete Rose, and many other stars and Hall of Fame members highlight the set. One card is professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA: #50 Banks (NM-MT 8). The 1971 set is by far the key year for a Kellogg's set run, as this was the only year that collectors were not offered the opportunity to order a complete set directly from Kellogg's. The only way to have assembled a 1971 Kellogg's set was to buy countless boxes of cereal, which included only one card per box. Total: 75 cards. Reserve $200.
