What was Issued for Cereal Cards?


Weet-Bix has been issuing trade card premiums for many years. Since 1942 to be exact. Most are non-sport but a football team or two may show up occasionally. 

Here's my "starter list" of Weet-Bix issues.  If you have anything to add or change, please contact me and we'll square it up.

Thanks to the following sites for their help in starting this list. (Sadly, they are both offline now)

  • http://www.weetbixcards.com/
  • http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Thebes/1323/data/sanitarium.html  - David Elliot's Sanitarium reference.

Each list is quite different and I made up my own based on cards in my collection.
