His book on 62’s is not cheap, but very much worth while for guys like us.

I don't think he's updating his books but he posts on here sometimes.

I have all of Dan's books. He is not the one I am referring to. There is a group of us that got together at the National in Chicago. We had hoped that Dan would meet us there but, he was too busy. I have written a piece on the 63 Jell-O comparing the hard cards in that set with the hard cards in the Post Cereal set. (It was General Foods intent that cards from either, combined could make a set) Once I proof it, I was thinking of sending it to Rich Mueller of Sports Collector's Daily. We have collected quite a bit of data on the 62 Jello set. We know which players are on pudding boxes and which are on regular Jello. However there are still some players we have not been able to ascertain which boxes they were on. I started this thread to see if we could finish that and perhaps identify how many full sets are in existence.

One of my prized possessions. You don’t see the complete boxes very often.

Here’s one from 63.
