1972 Cereal Action Baseball Game by Cadaco

From a Kellogg’s Raisin Bran cereal box, kids could cut out a coupon and mail it with $1 and two box tops from either Kellogg’s Raisin Bran or Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats to Kellogg’s and receive this game in the mail.  The game used ASB rules, but instead of the usual discs, the game had 18 player discs and two strategy discs on small squares.  Squares were 2 1/2″ on each side.  The squares clearly are based on the 1969 discs.  Although names are left off, it isn’t hard to figure out which discs were the models.

Nowhere on the box is Cadaco mentioned.   If you have John Rose’s Resource Book, as all ASB collectors and players should, this is  one of the  games covered in Section 2.
The game comes with a scoreboard, the rules for the game, a playing field with spinner, and the squares.  Shown below are photocopies of the Raisin Bran box which advertised the game. Three small pegs originally came with the game to use as pegs.
