Important Added Info: Note that this is a special complete set of 18 General Mills Cereal cards that were made in 1978. Kids had to buy boxes of the following General Mills cereals: Cocoa Puffs, Crazy Cow, Frankenberry, Boo-berry, and Count Chocula, and they had to buy a total of 18 boxes! These cards come in a vinyl album that has "STAR WARS" printed on the cover and is designed to hold these cards. However, the album only has space for 16 cards, so we strongly suspect that the last sleeve that held the final two cards became detached and is no longer present, so those last two cards are loose. However, we can't imagine that lots of kids back then were able to get their parents to buy 18 boxes of "candy" cereal, so we would think these cards are rare, especially complete sets. We don't know if the vinyl album was something you sent for separately or how it was distributed Condition: very good to fine. As described above, the printed vinyl album appears to be missing one sleeve. Otherwise, the cards and the album are in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
