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?

was just told from a General Mills employee that there is plans
for a Franco Harris "Immaculate Reception" box due out
at the end of the year. She didn't give me word whether it was
regional or national, just that it will be out at the end of the
year. My guess is regional, but we will just have to wait and
see. I will let you know if any new news about this box comes to
me.

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".
06/30/97Team
Cherrios has new boxes out featuring more sensational high school
team. The boxes features Cental Valley Mercury Soccer (girl's
soccer team), and Lagolla California Nomads Soccer. The boxes are
not due out in the grochery stores till July 28, 1997. But keep
on searching. I found a Central Valley Mercury Soccer box more
than a month before suspected arrvial.
06/23/97General

06/22/97General
