collecting cereal boxes

[livnxxxl]

Mmm...I'll do it tomorrow.

Boxes were made...but they are in display at my graphic arts school, lol.

Thanks Hec! That is mighty cool of you. Much appreciated.

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.

Thanks my brother.

I also designed Hulk, the Thing, and Wolverine.

I myself design cereal boxes.

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

Hey Hec, That is a nice job you done there.

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!

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.

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 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.

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

I wish I thought to save cereal boxes when I was a kid.

Me to. That way I would not be looking at having to drop $1,200 on a vintage box of 70's Freakies cereal. Instead I could be selling boxes of Freakies cereal.

I think it's best to carefully open the top & bottom and then fold them flat. They can always be reassembled and reglued if need be. There is probably much less chance of them getting crushed/damaged if they are stored flat in a box that is big enough to lay them in flat.

Thanks Rich for your opinion and tips on the storage of the cereal boxes. I believe that is exactly what I will start doing with mine.

I wish I thought to save cereal boxes when I was a kid. I saved almost everything else! LOL
I have a bunch but most are newer. I have one or two from the Batman movie (with the bank!) I think the oldest one I have is a box of C-3PO's. (watch for a pic of it in one of my memory threads when I find it)

Yeah the toys made breakfast fun for sure.Captain Crunch always came with best.Subs for the tub flying disks,glow in the dark skeletons.The Flinstons cereals had some good ones too.There a whole bunch I wish I had back.Even if they came in boxes today,those crappy high fiber cereal would come with just as crappy toys.Great thread you started even if it driffted from its original thought.

Thanks! I remember those Captain Crunch toys. I had some of those as a kid. like everything back then they seemed plentiful at the time. Now when I look back I wished that I would have kept it all. Then again I think that the most of us here are all in the same boat so to speak.

No problem on the drifting. I have a tendency to do that some times as well. I am enjoying the replies here to. Great stuff guys. Keep them coming!
