How to Collect Cereal Boxes

Cereal boxes are nostalgic pieces of memorabilia for collectors and cereal lovers alike. Health enthusiast and doctor John Harvey Kellogg invented the first cereal at the end of the nineteenth century. Americans have eaten countess brands and kinds of cereal for more than 100 years. Collectors like to display cereal boxes that feature iconic figures from comic books, movies, and the Olympics. Begin your own collection, starting with some favorite brands from your childhood.
