In this month's BC Price Guide, prices are given for Kellogg's 3-D cards. I noticed they said that the cards were susceptible to cracking if not handled and stored properly. What is the best way to store these things? Most of the ones I own have this distinct curl to them and I'm afraid that if I put them in something to flatten them out, it will cause them to crack even more than some of them are. I ordered a full set of 1974's and at least 1/4 of them came cracked. I would like to at least preserve the ones that are still nr-mt shape. Any ideas?

-Does this mean that nobody has any 3-d's out there or is it that nobody cares or that nobody knows??????? Pat. | |||||

I have some. None of mine are cracked, but they bend in the middle, as if they had a rubber band around them. Not sure what to tell you, I'm just going through them now... | |||||

I've seen the Kellogg Cards curl and crack, if not keep in something flat to begin with. Also, extreme heat curls them up, my experience is to keep all your cards in a dry, constant temperature controlled atmosphere. I think thats the next money maker, providing colletors with large atmospheric controlled cases, so cards won't mildew, crack, fade out, all those bad things that happen to cards when they are put in the wrong places. I think these Kellogg cards are very unique, and have a nice look to them, almost like the twilight zone look. Rick | |||||

I agree Rick, the 3-D's are really nice looking cards. I wish I had more of them. They would look great in plastic sheets if you could ever find any the right size and weren't worried about them cracking. I just wonder if flattening them out in a binder would hurt them after they've been in their semi-curled state for so long. Besides the baseball 3D's, I also have an early 70's John Brodie poised for a pass. I just think it's funny that there really isn't more interest in these things. Pat. |
