Just wondering if anyone knows of a site that I can look at that may help me with
separating what I have to maybe showing any variations or errors that I may have.
PLMK if you know of such a site. Thanks.

I'd suggest getting a copy of the Northern Exposure booklet from Dan Mabey:

It's the definitive info source on the 1962 Canadian Post Cereal cards!

Post Canadian Baseball
 
Agree. Dan Mabey's book on the Canadian set has it all.

I have been in contact with Dan Mabey .What a nice person that right now is going
through some major family health issues. But he still took the time to help me out.
So thanks to everyone that pointed me in the right direction.

New Post Cereal and Jello Book
 
Dave Worley has just released news of his book on Post Cereal and Jello. This is great news for collectors of such cards and other promo items. It appears that it will be available July 15th. He is covering all the card issues 1950's 1960's, including Canadian cards.

Reference material
 
Dan's book has been the bible for collectors for probably 25 years. And has been updated regularly. Just top notch and he was the mentor for all of us related to this set (and other Post Cereal sets). He can be reached at mulemandan2020@gmail.com.

Pretty certain Dave's book will be comparable. He's a longtime expert on this set and knows his stuff. His book will include good detail on all the Post and Jell-O sets of the era. He has an email related to the book, but I cannot find it here. His regular email is ltcolworley@mind-spring.com.

If you want a quick summary ... 200 cards in the set with 20 of the players printed on multiple box panel. Each of a player's extra panel appearance creates a variation as those are fairly easily spotted in terms of differences. 18 of the players were printed on two different cereal panels (Howard, Ford, Blanchard, Arroyo, Cash, Colavito, Lary, Gentile, Koufax, Pinson, Robinson, Jay, Cepeda, Mays, Mathews, Aaron, Clemente, Banks. Mantle and Maris were printed on 3 different cereal panels.

What Dan's book does, and pretty certain Dave's book will, is to provide detailed information on how to tell which variation (and cereal) you might have. Also just a ton of information (including pictures) about the set itself ... for example which cards are toughies and why. And a general ranking of toughness. Plus much, much, much more.

What Ken fails to mention is that he's quite the expert on the Post cards himself! He's actually written a booklet on the NFL ones.
