As a Roger Maris collector, I am a huge fan of his 1963 Post Cereal card. It is a very hard card to find, indeed. Moreover, Roger's portrait is priceless---what a beautiful smile! He and the photographer must have connected nicely. It's so vibrant, and since all too many of his Topps cards show no smile, I really appreciate the Post.
I don't care how plentiful the '62 Post is; I love that Rajah too. Our brother who mentioned the difficulty of the 1962 JELL-O knows precisely what he's talking about. Sure, it's the same photograph as the commonplace Post, yet it is very different----the coloring, the use of more of the original photo, and the design differences unique to the '62 JELL-O, definitely put it in a class of its own.
I've got an incredibly sad and frustrating story to relate from my childhood as an 8-year-old in Skokie, Illinois regarding 1962 JELL-Os. I did my best to "paint the picture", without going on and on, and included it in the first chapter of my book on post-war regional / food issues, NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.
If you haven't treated yourself to this delight, get on YOUTUBE and type in Post Cereal Mickey Mantle, and the same with Roger Maris. There's a couple of old black 'n white TV commercials that are saturated with period charm. Gets ya right here, if ya know what I mean.
Love these Post / JELL-O discussions. Have a great one, guys. ---Brian Powell
