Anybody know anything about this item? It's a small unassembled Wheaties box featuring Babe Ruth on both sides. From what I gather, it is from 1999. No idea what others may have been produced. I didn't find anything on TCDB when searching for Babe Ruth or Wheaties. Thanks in advance for any help. Jeff

Good reason you didn't find this on TCDB - cereal boxes are not something we catalogue. ------------------------------- -- Dan -- Note: Please see my profile for more info regarding trading (section updated 3/4/2024). I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned on (details are in my profile).

Not until someone gets out their scissors and decides to call this a card, right? cough cough vrooomed wrote: Good reason you didn't find this on TCDB - cereal boxes are not something we catalogue.

Whew. I was about to semi-seriously ask if I should be adding my boxes of "Rizzos" (which I'd be happy to trade to someone, by the way) to the site. I won't try now. v3 vrooomed wrote: Good reason you didn't find this on TCDB - cereal boxes are not something we catalogue.

Agreed that this isn't the place for it, even though it's not REALLY a cereal box, as it is closer to card size than actual box size. Was more or less hoping to get more insight into it, which I did. Thank you for all of the replies!
