GREEN BAY PACKERS PHANTOM BOXES WILL NOT HIT SHELVES IN THE GREEN BAY AREA. THEY ARE PROBABLY BEING SENT TO BE DESTROYED. THEY TO WERE EXPECTED TO BE 24 OZ. CHANCES ARE A GOOD NUMBER WILL LEAK OUT, AND WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE. IT WAS A GREAT GAME, AND A LOT OF FUN. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON ANY NEW NEWS CONSERNING THESE GREAT BOXES.


01/19/98Here to pass along some information to you and other fellow collectors.  Got some new news on some ERROR boxes:

#1. On the Amy Van Dyken olympic box the word "Speedo" appears above the U in USA on her swimsuit on front of box.  The box was later replaced with the word "Speedo" missing.

#2. On the Dan O' Brien olympic box at the bottom there is a excerpt about him competing in the Pan Am Games.  Dan didn't play in the Pan Am Games. Later the box was corrected and the whole except was taken out.

I would like to here what boxes all you other collectors have.  Give me an e-mail and tell me which ones you have. I will later post a talley of what most people have, to find out which one is the hard one to find. Please let me know which ones you have?

8/23/97Some information just recently came up that I had not heard of before. You all know of the Fottball Replays boxes general mills had released some time ago. Appareantly the Marcus Allen Replay box had both an error and a correction box. The mistake made was that some had it as Superbowl XV111, and some as XXV111. I have the XV111, and wanted to know what the other collectors have. Please let me know, which box(es) do you have.
8/9/97Just got back an e-mail from General Mills regarding the rumors/possibility of a new wheaties box featuring the new NFL expansion team the Tennesse Oilers. This is what the dissapointing e-mail said. "We are sorry to disappoint you, but we will not be putting this NFL team on our cereal boxes. We just do not have enough time or packages ready to attempt to do this".

06/23/97General Mills has confirmed there will not be a Tiger Woods box issued.
06/22/97General Mills has confirmed there will be no 97' Chicgo Bulls Championship Box. Still waiting to hear about the 97' Detriot Redwings Championship box. I have a gut feeling there will be one. I'll keep everyone informed if I hear anything.
