Default A Jell-O Fake

In 1983, Baseball Card Magazine as a part of an article on the 60s Jell-O Baseball Card Promotions offered a copy of a Bob Gibson (flat) Jell-O box where collectors were invited to build their own Jell-O box. Fast forward now pushing 25 years, occasionally cards or boxes that were build with the page from the magazine do surface. Probably more boxes than Gibson cards. With Gibson being one of the SPs of the 63 set, one should always be careful if making a Gibson purchase. The box in the magazine was Lemon flavor that is the one you need to be careful. There are several red flags one might look for with the primary one being the magazine copy is very much faded over what a more normal card would look like. So anyway, just a heads-up.
