Description
A classic 1972 Kellogg's 3-D Super Stars card featuring San Francisco Giants shortstop Chris Speier. This card uses early lenticular technology to create a 3D effect. The design includes a blue speckled border, the '3-D Super Stars' header, and a yellow nameplate and position banner. A facsimile autograph is printed across the player image.
Key Features
Vintage food-issue card from the early 1970s; unique 3D lenticular visual effect; features likeness of a 3-time All-Star.
Authenticity Indicators
Typical lenticular plastic coating over paper stock; specific 1972 design patterns; age-appropriate yellowing of the back (not pictured but expected). Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant vertical surface cracking (crazing) common to this set; heavy inward curling/bowing; severe corner wear and edge roughing; potential discoloration on the white cardstock border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a low-cost 'Buy It Now' with 'Standard Envelope' shipping) or as part of a lot of 1970s commons on Facebook collector groups.
Selling Tips
Do not attempt to flatten the card as it will cause the brittle plastic surface to crack further. Use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for shipping to keep costs under $1.00. Clearly photograph the cracks in the surface to avoid returns.
