Concord continuing to desecrate the jazz catalog they got from Fantasy.  Keep milking the cow till it's dry....

If a cow isn't milked, milk can build up in her udder, causing discomfort and pressure. This pressure can eventually stop the cow from producing more milk. Depending on the situation, other issues can arise, including:
  • Normal drying off
    If the cow is producing less than 5 kg/day when milking stops, there are no problems. This is the normal way of "drying off".
  • Uncomfortable pressure
    If the cow has recently calved and is producing a lot of milk, the pressure could be uncomfortable and infection could occur.
  • Mastitis
    There could be a risk she gets mastitis if she is suddenly stopped being milked.
  • Bruising, udder injury, sickness, and death

All this from Google AI, who has apparently lived on a farm and learned life's lessons the hard way.

Nothing like botching the legacy of the labels a conglomerate acquired. Carl E. Jefferson must be spinning in his grave with some of the pure crap issued in the past decade or so on the Concord label that he founded. Some musicians who recorded for him had their share of choice words to say about Jefferson, but he recorded musicians whom he enjoyed often and made more than a few of the younger players he recorded extensively widely known.

These are coaster size albums. Scan the album on your phone and it will play. To me it's just a sales gimmick. I don't need yet another copy of "Kind of Blue."

$50 for five vintage jazz albums seems steep to me.  If it were, say, $19.99 for five coasters and five albums, that may be worthwhile.  Obviously, the audience for this product probably does not frequent message boards like this.

I could see this as a space-saving alternative -
like if you lived in a cramped Manhattan spot and
you wanted to have a small physical collection of tunes.
Ten dollars a "record" doesn't seem steep to me if
you're approaching the whole deal as an art object.
Otherwise. yes, you could just stream them anyway.

It's like those baseball cards that were put out by local bakeries and shit. There will be a bit of a market but they'll never be considered canon.

They are actually quite collectible and some can be expensive. The 1970 Kellogg Seaver one can fetch over $100, not bad for a cereal card.

Kellogg's and Post both, yes. I very much collected both in my youth. Where are they now?!?!?! I had a seperate section for them called "Cereal Box Cards". Why not?

Even had a few Jello cards.

Anything from before cards got "valuable", yes those can bring large bucks due to scarcity. So many got thrown out.

But all the things that don't have actual logos because there's no licensing, hey, only a very few people are going to want those.

I guess the closest comparison would be the Mother's Cookies cards of not too long ago. There's a market, but...."niche" is putting it mildly.

Any Kellogg card must be valuable because they never stayed in any sort of mint condition. They had a thick plastic coat to give it a 3D affect and that plastic always curled with age and eventually cracked and fell off. I tried keeping one flat using a book and years later when I opened the book to check on it, it wasn't curled, but it was still cracked. I used to have several whole series of those Kellogg cards from my youth but I got rid of them a long time ago. Me & my brother actually sold our whole baseball card collection when the market peaked about 20 years ago. I certainly don't miss storing those huge boxes whenever I moved.

I still have many of my baseball  cards from childhood, though the Post Cereal, Jell-o and 1952 Bowmans are long gone. I am trying to decide the best way to sell them and if I want to invest in getting some of the pricy cards graded and slabbed.

i always got a kick out of Topps trying to guess who would be on the roster before printing the new sets, only for them to have to add Sent to Richmond in May or Released Unconditionally in April. Poor Merritt Ranew, he must have felt like he was stuck in a perpetual elevator.

I collected cards (mostly Mets) the mid 80s to about 98 and then stopped but I started again a few years ago just to fill in some holes and put them in new binders. I purchased some of the Kelloggs cards. They are in mint condition, no curling or cracking.

I don't know what Kellogg's cards were like in the mid-80s. Most of mine were from the late 60s to early 70s and they all had that 3D simulating ribbed plastic coat. I used to eat a ton of Raison Bran during the baseball season back then. :)

I can't believe the money these things are going for today. There's a cracked 1974 Nolan Ryan card on eBay that is listed for $630. Wow.

I'm sure I had one of those.

Maybe the guy is asking $629, but I doubt that he will get it for the set. Another ebay seller has the same set for $155 plus shipping.

The one thing I owned as a kid and lost track of was a Mickey Mantle Heartland Statue, they were selling for over $1000 at one time. I evidently got one for a birthday part gift around 1963 or 1964, as my mother took a photo of us with it on the table. Of course, that photo is now long gone. I don't even remember owning it.

I guess that those Kellogg's 3D cards curled over time, that's what happened to mine, though none of them are cracked.

I am rediscovering the joys of mainstream breakfast cereals, but am very disappointed by the lame back box designs, never mind the lack of anything inside besides the cereal.
