Post-Jell-O
Mike Skiles is right on. One thing I might add related to collectors of the Post Cereal and Jell-O cards and sets. While most collectors might go for basic 200 card sets (or less in the 62 Jell-O and Post CFL issues), some post enthusiasts do attempt putting together "Master Sets". A master set of some of the Post issues can sometimes reach into the mid-500s in terms of cards necessary to be complete ... as you need a card for each player coming from every cereal box each player appeared on (plus in the 1962 Post baseball, differences in the cards of Cash, Adcock, and Cepeda where they had differences in cards on their Grape Nut box appearances. Master sets are attainable (but far from easy) for all the American and Canadian Baseball and Football Post Cereal promotions. Recently a couple of collectors have put together master sets of the 1963 Jell-O set (324 total cards of which 180 are 6 oz. SP cards-brutal). And as Mike alludes to, not enough information is available to understand exactly what is included in a 1962 Jell-O master set.
Have texted with Dan a couple of times this week and he confirmed he does have copies of all his different books available to collectors.
