Year: 1979

Set: Kellogg's 3-D Super Stars (Rate)

Card: #26 Dan Driessen


“ I like these. Lenticular cards are always fun. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ These were awesome. Still have a couple somewhere, wish I had took better care of them because I recall having quite a few at one time. Real shame they don't put stuff like this in cereal as often as they used to. About the only way I'll buy it, especially nasty old Cornflakes. ” -Doc Floyd

“ I learned something new today! Figured Driessen just rode shotgun to a couple of world championships with the big red machine, but it seems he made a decent contribution ” -dilemma19

“ I love food issue cards . ” -uncaian

“ Always nice for a kid to get something in a box of cereal. ” -NJdevils

“ I might be in the minority here, but I have a real fondness for the old Kellogg's 3-D cards. A trip down my childhood memory lane! ” -cckeith

“ Cool cereal box cards. ” -carthage44

“ Boy, do these bring back memories! I know I have some in a box I haven't gotten to yet! Love it! ” -bkklaos

“ Oh I ate my share of Frosted Flakes to get these. Then i saw you could buy the whole set rather inexpensively. ” -Kaline6

“ Kellogg's have always been my favorite! ” -cjjt

“ Not sure i've ever seen any of these in person. Wondering if they are taller than standard card size. Quite a bit of info on the back for a Kellogg's card. I like it. Not sure why but i do. Maybe because it's soooo...funky. ” -Madden95

“ Love the Kellogg's 3-D cards from the 70s. Dan Driessen is one of those payers that before the overproduced years I started naturally getting from every year so he was one of the guys I used to "super collect" back before it was a thing. Now-days however I'd probably find I only have 3 or 4 of his cards Not sure as I haven't checked specifically for his cards in a while. ” -captkirk42

“ Cool card. Would like to pick this set up. ” -yokonashiwa

“ Seriously, I want more cards like this today. I would buy boxes of Cap'n Crunch if food manufacturers were "allowed" to make cards again. Damn you Topps Monopoly!!!!! ” -rmpaq5

I have always loved the Kelloggs cards . 1979 was the first year I got some Kelloggs cards as a kid . Tough to find these  without cracks or curled .

Wow, this is the first RCotD I can remember that nobody had anything bad to say about.

I always wondered what that card would have to look like....

Great set. Loved iit then, but never ate enough cereal to collect very well. But as a Red's fan of the 70's Driessen was neither a poor man's Tony Perez or Lee Mays. He was one of those players lucky enough to be on a winning franchise at the peak of their greatness.

What's there bad to say about a card that has full stats, a 3D photo on the front - and was FREE! :) I am also in that camp that loves the Kellogg's cards. I think I have the full 1981 set. Wish I had more.
