In no way does the modest set price and price per card reflect the impossibility of finding quality cards from this set... And the Aspromonte card; the Post examples are rare but they show up for sale once in a while. Has anyone ever seen a 63 Jello Aspromonte?

If you could go back to 1963 and ask a Jello ad executive if the cards should be carefully placed on the package so that they could be cut out without being damaged, he would probably look at you like you just slipped out of a loony bin: "None of these things are going to be around next year - who the * cares?"
