Looking for fellow 1962 Jell-O collectors

[Promethius88]

I have been slowly bidding on it. My last bid was at $410 so where it is now is the top bid for the current top bidder at this point. Have to decide if I want to take a shot at later. Looking forward to seeing what happens!

I just couldn't do it. I couldn't pull the trigger on one more bid. I sat there and looked at it for 10 minutes and as badly as I need the card, I couldn't justify paying $416 for it when the top and bottom were cut so poorly. Did pic up a few others that I needed so wasn't a complete loss. Hope anyone else bidding got some deals!

Was out of town for a few days but got a message from PSA that one of the 62 Jell-O Mays cards I subbed is going to be coming back to me in a 4 vg-ex holder. I know for the vast majority of the Jell-O collectors here the numerical grades don't mean much, but this feels like a major win!!

Here is the Mays I just got back from PSA. Still wondering what their guidelines are, although happy that it came back a 4.

One of the guys who posts his mailday videos to Facebook says that PSA is a little more forgiving on this issue because the borders were at the edge of the box. I think he said that if at least 70% of each black border is there, they might give it a number grade.

i saw a full Jello box (lemon) flavor with a 1962 Vic Power on it wednesday at the national. i say full, but it actually did not have the contents. it was a complete box but obviously has been opened. i thought it was very neat but have no idea of value. would love to hear estimates as to value for something like that.

i should add that the box was a Jello Pudding & Pie Filling box, not jello. not sure if that makes a difference

[Promethius88]

That would be a neat pick up. I don't know the answer to that question being relatively new to all of this but I'm sure Ken or one of the other guys could provide a good estimate.

Hey Ronnie, so what did the dealer want for the Vic Power JELL-O box? Fruit flavor, pudding & pie filling flavor----it matters not one bit. If it's a complete box, it's solid gold, or if you prefer, name your favorite gemstone. I'm not out to score a box, or make a phone call; I just "enzhoy" the 1962 JELL-Os!

IF you decide to pursue Vic, a major point of negotiation is Vic's picture---was it printed nicely, and was it preserved reasonably well over these past 56 years?

Have a good National, bro. --- Brian Powell
