1961 Post Cereal Baseball Checklist & Values
1961 Post Cereal consisted of 200 cards measuring 2-1/2" by 3-1/2".
Post distributed the cards (six each) via the back panel of cereal boxes
or through the mail where fans could order certain cards as part of a
large pre-perforated sheet.
The set was loaded with superstars like Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente
and Willie Mays but the key cards turned out to be very scarce short prints like
#73 Chuck Estrada and the scarcest #94 Chuck Stobbs.

1977 Kellogg's Baseball |
The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years, baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal. In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball cards in their products as well.
Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.
The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
