1972 Kellogg’s 3D Baseball Cards – Values and Checklist

After two years regaling collectors with 75-piece issues, 1972 Kellogg’s 3D baseball cards weighed in with a relatively diminutive 54-card checklist. Interestingly enough, there were 21 error cards in the first run of this set, and they were all corrected, bringing the total card count in a “master” set to … yes! … 75 cards.

Kellogg’s also reduced the size of their 3D card in 1972, though, to 2-1/8” by 3-1/4″.

Issued one per “specially marked boxes” of Kellogg’s cereal, these cards were also available in complete set form via send-in offer.

Today, though all Kellogg’s cards tend to suffer from cracking, curling, and other condition issues, PSA 9 is the most common grade handed out by the grading giant.

The most valuable cards in that condition today, based on recent selling prices, are as follows:

• Roberto Clemente (#49) – $100
• Willie Mays error (#54) – $80
• Tom Seaver error (#1) – $60
• Willie Mays corrected (#54) – $60
• Pete Rose (#6) – $50
• Willie Stargell error (#53) – $40
• Tom Seaver corrected (#1) – $35
• Reggie Jackson (#20) – $35
• Billy Williams error (#46) – $25
• Willie McCovey corrected (#7) – $20
• Bob Gibson error (#26) – $20

Commons command about $15 in PSA 9 condition.

Expect to pay a few dollars to a healthy double digits for stars in nice ungraded condition.
