I was 11 in '76.<br /><br />Ranger Rick yep remember it used to have a subscription. One of those transfer with water type stickers they had I put on a mini poster of the Pink Panther from Dynamite Magazine (or Bananas) along with a few other stickers I still have that mini poster somewhere. Ah the things we do when drunk with childhood. Odd I collected 1975 cards but not 1976, except for Football I remember that was the first set that had the Buccaneers and Seahawks. I tried to concentrate on getting them along with my homie team the Redskins and fave team Rams in recent years I have traded away many of the Seahawks and Bucs cards.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-16767653181320816342012-04-13T23:56:32.307-04:002012-04-13T23:56:32.307-04:00I was a bicentennial baby, but I was born on the l...I was a bicentennial baby, but I was born on the late side for the actual bicentennial. I was born 3 months after July 4th, which kind of sucks. I have to live to nearly 100 years old to see my country celebrate a centennial.<br /><br />I do love those Kellogg's cards though. And I also have a soft spot for the Post and Quaker cards from the 1980s as well. Even if they weren't as good.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-75000664893020268742012-04-13T21:55:23.556-04:002012-04-13T21:55:23.556-04:00Crap, I'm gonna have to be 96 to see one!

I remember the huge fireworks display that was promised for Houston's July 4th celebration and how long we waited on a bridge overlooking the downtown area. It was a disappointing show as I recall. <br /><br />Funny thing, I had three or four Kelloggs cards that I originally collected as they were issued. None were Orioles. The Sutton is that last one to go. <br /><br />Now I've replaced those with the 3 Orioles cards. Another case of Oriole collection osmosis.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-15673141514385564562012-04-13T21:19:02.543-04:002012-04-13T21:19:02.543-04:00I love 1976.

But when I think of Baseball Ball cards for that year I always think of the 1977 set because they had the 1976 stats on the back. The 1976 Topps set itself was kind of bland sandwhich between the 1975 and 1977 sets. I also thought the 1976 Kellogg set was kind of bland when compared to the other. The 1976, 1982 and 1983 Kellogs sets all seem the same to me.John Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159036395402962119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-89923959444334065042012-04-13T21:06:45.773-04:002012-04-13T21:06:45.773-04:00bicentennial - check
