A new 1963 Post variation?

But you're right, it does look like a Post variation.

Here's a better photo. I thought the bottom one was a jello because it was shorter but the stars line up and the left stat line is extended so they are both Posts, one is just trimmed more.

All of the cards on COMC that are listed as 1963 Jell-O Don Landrum are actually 1963 Post Don Landrum, the Jell-O card has the shorter line on each side of the stats like in the scan, the ones listed as Jell-O on COMC have the longer line that extends further out past the stats. ETA: Apparently someone at COMC was fooled by the unknown variation and believed that the 1963 Post Don Landrum cards with the larger gap are 1963 Jell-O and the 1963 Post Don Landrum with the smaller gap are 1963 Post because that is how they have them listed.

That's on me -- I'll fix that in a bit. I followed that information but will adjust the 63 Post listings accordingly ASAP

They should all be fixed now. I left 2 cards in the Jello area for Landrum as the print was obviously smaller.

The photo on the Jello card also extends farther to the right where it is just above the "B" in batting While the Post Cereal card the photo ends above the "E" in League.

There are many subtle differences in cropping etc. for these cards depending on which cereal box they were issued on.

In this case Landrum was on a 10 oz. Rice Krinkles box and a 9 oz. Sugar Crisp box.

The card with his team name closer to his name is off of a Rice Krinkles box while the other is from the Sugar Crisp box
