1972 Kellogg's 3-D Super Stars (F286-3)

Number of Cards

1972 Kellogg's has 54 cards, which there are 3 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The standard-sized cards are the following dimensions: 2-1/2" by 3-1/2"

Basic Features

The 1972 Kellogg's is notable for its unique 3-D design and a shorter checklist compared to previous years. Each card features diagonal stripes at the top and bottom corners that show the player's last name and position, though the plastic card stock can be prone to cracking. So, what is it that makes these 3D baseball cards so remarkable? Begin with a cutout of a player, add a blurred background behind it, and then place a transparent plastic layer with ridges over the image. This marked the third consecutive year that Kellogg's created a 3-D set. Distributed one per specially-marked box of Kellogg's Raisin Bran, Sugar Pops or Cocoa Krispies. Cards were also available as part of a mail-in offer.
