    ^^^^Not only that but you can probably store 25 boxes in the same space as one that way!!

      I remember going to sports cards auctions with my dad and they would sell the Wheaties boxes of the losing team from either The World Series or Super Bowl. They would print up two sets and go with whoever won. Kind of wish I had picked some up.

        I have a few cereal boxes, including a few Superman ones given to me by some kind folks here. I have a couple on display, and some that have been broken down just to save space.

        I think everyone must have bought that Batman cereal! I might still have a couple in the basement. I also have a Bill & Ted's and a Quisp box packed away somewhere.

            I myself design cereal boxes.

            Here's one of many templates I've done...

              Twiki - please scan some of those Crazy Cow boxes and post if you could. I used to love that cereal and would love to see the stuff from that again.
              It's all good!

                I love vintage cereal boxes--70's and 60's especially. Freakies, Quisp, Quake, Pink Panther Flakes. Count Chocula. Particularly interesting as a collectible because nobody really thought to save them back then--hence the hefty price on many of them. Neat pieces of pop art.

                I once owned an early 70's Raisin Bran box with an uncut Bobby Sherman record on the back. In fact, after 15+ years of looking, it's the only vintage cereal box I ever found!

                Can't say that I'm into modern era cereal boxes (mid 80's to present). Of course that's when everyone started saving them so they're much easier to find!

                      That is totally awesome! Will you post pictures of the others that you did when you get a chance some time? Did you happen to keep any of the boxes that you did for your own collection? That would really have been cool. Thanks again for sharing that.
