Please help with this Post Raisin Bran box front panel
 
1 Attachment(s)
Although my collecting focus is mostly pre-War, I am aware that Post Cereal put baseball cards on the back panels of its cereal boxes in 1961, 1962 and 1963. I have this front panel of a Raisin Bran box with a pic of Harmon Killebrew on it. Can someone tell me which year this is from? Or, are the pics on the front panels the same for all three years? Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Raisin Bran Front
 
Based on all information available, and the known front players used on the boxes. This would be a 1962 Raisin Bran box.

Here is a link to the front of a 1962 Raisin Bran box from one of the best Post Cereal Football links. The box matches yours.

More Info
 
Also, the picture of Killebrew matches the pose from his 1962 Post Cereal card.
In 61, the Senators had just moved to Minneapolis and his card is much darker and the face is different. In 1963, his pose was entirely different. We know that the poses from the cards for each year also were used on the fronts of boxes.
