toughest 1962 Jello

[savedfrommyspokes]

A rarely seen Tasby ended last evening on ebay at $1325 with 4 bidders bidding over $1k. Hopefully for the buyer, this card passes "authenticity".

Although I'm pretty much out of the 62 Jell-O game, I was a little surprised, but not that surprised that the Tasby brought that much. Basically due to the condition. But as we know with this set, when you've been waiting to fill one of those last few holes, it doesn't really matter what it looks like.

What is surprising is what some of the other "not that difficult" cards have been selling for. While you don't see the Woodie Held come up every day, I wouldn't call it difficult. Shocked to see the one in that condition sell for $239. I thought the seller was nuts when he had the BIN up so high but sold it just under his asking price.

I might have do dig out the few extras I have left and list them!!

Agree with you. Did you see the lot of 29 cards lot that sold maybe a week ago. 28 of the cards are pretty findable. But the 29th was the super tough Gene Stephens. Perhaps the second toughest of the entire set. That lot went for a bit over $1600, and totally driven by the one card. I had the same thoughts you did for Tasby on this Stephens card. Certainly expensive, but less that what the market has brough for the toughies the last 3 or 4 years. Prices might be softening on those super-SPs.

I did see that lot and was an underbidder (way under)...I don't want to out the Gilliam auction that listed recently, but it is already at $1k+. In about 8 days we'll collectively see if the theory on the softening market on these SSPs holds.

Thanks guys for all of the information. I posted my back in 2019. I still have not found a Flood, Simmons, or Grammas.

I found it interesting that someone posted how difficult a 1963 Jello Bob Gibson is. I was able to snag one a few years ago. I have all of the Post Cereal and Jello cards except for the 1962 Jello tough ones I listed above.

I’m glad there aren’t any Cubs on the list, I think Don Zimmer was the last one I needed years ago and could probably use an upgrade.

Shockingly 2 Grammas have sold recently. I Flood was listed not too long ago and a Simmons, while not top 5 difficult, is currently listed in a lot. But good luck with that as it is listed along with a Stafford.
All of the cards should have been listed separately.

Bumping an old thread as I "use" it ALL the time; I've always blindly purchased these at shows in hopes to "Hit the List" - Finally after probably buying hundreds and striking out, today was the day!!
