1970 Kellogg's Cereal Baseball Cards

The 1970 Kellogg's set was notable for two reasons, firstly the 3-D look and secondly, these were the first cards released by a breakfast cereal company. The cards were inserted in specially marked packs of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.  Unfortunately due to the fact that these cards are made of plastic, they are subject to warping and cracking- not desirable features.
There are 75 cards in the set included a huge number of future Hall-of-Fame players, most notably: Tom Seaver, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Reggie Jackson and Johnny Bench
Two noticeable omissions from the set were Carl Yastrzemski and Hank Aaron.
