Thinking back, I collected or dabbled in the following items throughout 1962:
1961-62 Shirriff/Salada Hockey Coins
Leaf Spook Stories cards
1962 Topps Baseball cards
1962 Shirriff Baseball Coins
Jell-O/Hostess Aircraft Wheels
1962 Post Cereal Baseball cards
1962 Post Cereal CFL cards
Topps Civil War News cards
1962-63 Topps Hockey cards
DC Superhero comics & Archie Jaguar comics
marbles
pea shooter
But what made the Post Cereal cards extra special and a particular delight was they didn't require any spending on my part. I'd just accompany my mom to the supermarket and "help" her out selecting groceries for the family.
