Not as neat of a discovery, X2. (post cards)

To further add to my latest Mantle pic post, I also came across these which I forgot I had.
Like I mentioned last year, I was out of the hobby for 30+ years so like a lot things over that time frame, these were also forgotten about.

I know very little about them, or if any have any value, etc, but I think they are pretty cool to have as these were likely cut out and saved by my Father.

Most of them would only grade Authentic so you're going to lose some interested buyers. Check them to see if they're plentiful for sale or short printed.

Why is that, John? Most have perforations or hints of the blue borders but I assume there is more to it than that?

Looking at this link, I found out they are 1962's and also found out some have some pretty good value if this list is accurate?

These are some of what I have and their MT-9 values. I am not sure how these are graded but I would say most of mine are EX+ with some higher and some lower?

Gordie Coleman #116 $450 MT-9
Norm Siebern #92 $350 MT-9 (I have 2 copies)
Early Wynn #55 $300 MT-9
Pete Runnels #57 $150 MT-9
Frank Robinson #122 $250 MT-9
Norm Larker #113 $300 MT-9
Joey Jay #124 (Blue lines around stats) $600 MT-9
Don Drysdale #110 $150 MT-9 (mine's like a 2-4?)
Carlton Willey #155 $150 MT-9

Ah, if those are all the perforated versions, then they would grade higher than authentic. However, the cards that were hand-cut should have the full black border around them. And of course, since they're the Canadian versions, they're more rare than the US cards.

They are 1962 Post Cereal Canadian. Unlike the US version they would have blue borders instead of black ones. The borders are thicker than the US version. The perforated ones do not have blue borders. They were inserted INSIDE Sugar Crisp boxes. They were wrapped in plastic. The buyer did not have the luxury of looking at the back of the box to see which cards were there. The perforated cards are akin to the company sheets offered as a mail-in in 1961. The 61 company sheets were perforated with no borders.

And there are quite a few that would only get authentic, like the Kluzeswki, O'Toole, Pascual, Willie Davis, etc. Those cards are trimmed through the dashed borders and would not get number grades.
