Do your books just cover 1962 Canadian Post or do you also have books dealing with the other Jello and Post sets from 1961 to 1963. I think I would be interested in purchasing whatever you have, but it was a little unclear to me what your asking price is. If you could forward any information that you have for me and tell me how to get the money to you I would greatly appreciate it.

What are the 15 very expensive short prints cards?

I have some pics in my Net54 picture link below of some 62 Post cards I own, although I don't think any fall into that category?

Irv,

Based on Dan Mabey's book and my long experience in collecting Post Cereal and Jell-O cards here are what I consider the toughest 62 Canadians:

Joe Amalfitano
Jackie Jensen
Hal Smith
Dick Brown
Sam Jones
Ralph Terry
Chuck Estrada
Larry Sherry
Dick Williams
Curt Simmons

This is in no particular order and is based on what I have seen since the 70's as to the availability of these cards. Some I have never seen. Also the Sandy Koufax with the correct "Walks" in the statistic block is extremely tough. Again, this is just an opinion and is in somewhat agreeing with Dan's books.

Thanks Mike.

I am down to needing two cards from this set: Rocky Bridges and Hal Smith. My top ten hardest cards might be slightly different--the last three cards I have obtained were Yogi Berra, Joe Amalfitano and John Romano. I would probably add Tito Francona to my list as well. So--

Rocky Bridges
Hal Smith
Yogi Berra
John Romano
Tito Francona
Dick Williams
Joe Amalfitano
Jackie Jensen
Larry Sherry
Jim Gilliam

Again in no particular order--just highlights the number of really tough cards to track down in this set.

And wanted to share my recent acquisition - a complete Canadian post perforated panel with my man Mays. From what I'm reading here, this must have been from inside a box of Sugar Crisps.

Special thanks to my good friend Fred McKie for helping me to navigate a 3-way trade for this piece.

That’s a really nice piece. I think Fred knows where everything’s at !!

Hi Gang:

Just picked up my first 62 Post Canadian full uncut panel. And this one even has the checklist from the side of the box still attached.

Nice too that Ernie Banks is on it.

Bumping an old thread here but I believe I found my answer.
Was just searching eBay/GM cards tonight and came across this 1962 Post CDN Jackie Jensen about to end so I thought I'd watch it for just something to do.
Forget the exact price with about a minute or less to go but was shocked/blown away in the dying seconds when I saw this card jump multiple times in value to the very end.
I had completely forgot, despite what Mike had once told me above, about this card.
Watched/saved a few others but I'm pretty sure I missed some, (maybe a lot?) as I was too late.

Found these other ones just now searching 130 point. The cards I listed above haven't been update yet (if they will be?) added to 130 point. A couple/few here that are not on the list provided.
