You are correct that both the 63P and 63J are SPs. Over the past 44 years Beckett/Eckes, Beckett, SCD, and Lemke's Vintage Guide have consistently placed higher values on the Post vs JELL-O. Back in 1981, Beckett/Eckes had #187 at $75 for Post and $10 for JELL-O. In 1987, SCD Price Guide 1 booked the values of $175 for Post and $30 for JELL-O. By 2011, the Lemke Vintage Guide listed $350 for Post and $200 for JELL-O.
The professionally graded and slabbed #187 (falsely labeled 1963 Post) I referred to in my original (no puns intended) post was priced at $400. Even today I would be disinclined to pay that much for a REAL 1963 JELL-O. Having said that, I would be happy to pay $75 and $10 for either a 1963P or 1963J Aspromonte today! [Huge smile.]
