Kellogg’s ST Cereal Set

Spock’s image appears on none of the cards (and is airbrushed out of some) as Nimoy didn’t give approval for his image. Covers all 4 series and movies. Numbered 1-60 and one unnumbered fact card in both English and French. If cut from box they are standard trading card sized.

Primrose Card Set

Set of 12 card/stickers made in England in 1970 and inserted into candy boxes. There is some concern about bootlegged sets. It is likely this set was frequently reprinted and little care was taken to ensure consistency between printings. According to one article, the way to tell the difference is that the reprints show a 10% reduction in text size. There are both solid and zig zag borders. Card/paper stock is thin and measures 1 1/4 x 2 5/16.
