1983 Kellogg’s Baseball Checklist, Team Set Lists and Details
For 14 straight years, Kellogg’s brought cereal and baseball cards together. 1983 Kellogg’s Baseball is the bookend of that run, wrapping one of the most memorable food-issue series in the hobby’s history.
Landing under the 3-D Super Stars banner, the set sticks with its lenticular roots. As usual for Kellogg’s sets, the effect is both strong and distinct. Cards are smaller than traditional sports cards, measuring 1 7/8″ by 3 1/4″. Despite this, they still jam lots of info on the back. The text might be small, but there are full stats, a lengthy bio and vitals. You can even learn about players’ hobbies.
Like most Kellogg’s Baseball sets, the checklist has some meat to it, totalling 60 cards. Top cards in the set include Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Rickey Henderson. That said, everything is still very affordable and easy to track down.
After being a strictly mail-away release for the 1981 and 1982 sets, 1983 Kellogg’s Baseball made its way back into boxes for the first time in three years.
Collectors could still order a full set, through by sending in $3.95 plus a pair of proofs of purchases from Corn Flakes, Froot Loops, Sugar Frosted Flakes, Sugar Corn Pops or Sugar Smacks.

Mcdonald’s in 1992 put out the gold cards set. Also Hostess cupcakes put out cards in 1993. Are these cards worth anything?
