Description
This is a five-card multi-sport perforated panel issued by Post Cereal in 1991. The panel features stars from four major sports: Larry Johnson (UNLV/Hornets), Mats Sundin (Nordiques), Hersey Hawkins (76ers), Kevin McHale (Celtics), and Randall Cunningham (Eagles). The cards are designed to be separated along perforated lines.
Key Features
Includes Larry Johnson rookie-era card and Hall of Famer Kevin McHale. This is a cross-sport food issue, which is generally scarcer than standard base sets because many were discarded or separated poorly by children.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features the distinct thin cardstock typical of cereal box inserts from the early 90s, original perforations, and period-accurate photography and typography. Highly unlikely to be counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
A major horizontal crease/fold runs through the center of the entire panel, affecting the top of the bottom three cards and the bottom of the top two cards. Minor corner wear is visible on the outer edges.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC are the best venues. It would also perform well in a local sports card Facebook group dedicated to 90s nostalgia or Philadelphia/Boston regional collectors.
Selling Tips
Do not separate the cards; as an intact panel, it carries more 'oddball' collector appeal than five common individual cereal cards. Ship in a large rigid mailer with cardboard backing to prevent further folding or damage to the perforations.
