Great guess, but not the item. I bowed out on the Jell-O box a bit earlier - sold one of the 3 total known (2 at the time) for a considerably stronger price a couple of years ago and took a much smaller % commission than REA got.
It was the 1962 Sugardale Weiners complete set including the Clemente in a PSA 4 which appears to have never been in a package of hot dogs. That card in that condition (grade notwithstanding) is essentially impossible. The Clemente is the POP 1 highest graded example.

Thanks Jonathan. Those weren't even on my radar. I generally focus on pre- 1980. Auctions are often not the best place to sell test issues & certain other rarities as many of my consignors will attest to.
