Cereal premium sets are one of the hardest types of sets to complete in good condition, for many reasons. One of the biggest
obstacles is that unopened product is usually non-existent and all sets/singles must be obtained from collectors that have
previously handled them. This set of 16 stickers falls into that category. These stickers were printed by the company ADPAC
for General Mills. There are 4 subsets of 4 stickers, each with a different color background (green, orange, yellow, purple)
that varied by the brand of cereal that was purchased. The stickers could be found in various sized boxes of Boo Berry,
Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Trix, Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms. One interesting fact is that the original uncut sheets
contained 25 stickers, all from one subset of 4. This meant that there was not an equal number of each sticker on the
sheets, so some of the stickers were printed in larger quantities than others. Also, since the subsets were distributed
in specific brands of cereal, the subsets that were in the more popular cereals are more common than those in the less
popular cereals. During the printing process some sheets of these stickers were removed after the background and photos were
printed, but before the text was printed. Although rare, you may occasionally be able to find test versions of these stickers
missing the captions.
