Unfortunately, the 1962 Jell-O Billy Klaus is kind of rare. I did have one which I was able to upgrade, and I passed the lesser one onto a fellow collector.
They do pop up once in awhile. If I see one, or pick up one, I will keep you in mind.
Good luck in your collecting !

While I am here, I thought I should mention, Ken is definitely still looking for information on what players appeared on what boxes. That is not just for pudding boxes, but gelatin boxes. Many players are still unknown.
I'm sure Ken would appreciate any help that anyone can give on this.

I know it's a bit off topic, but Ebay currently has two 1962 Jell-O Romano's listed and one is listed as "A" and the other is listed as "B". I can't see any difference between the two.

Can anyone explain the difference between the "A" and "B" variant?

Thanks, John

I think it is just to differentiate the two separate 1962 Jell-O Romano cards that the seller has listed, I have seen other eBay sellers do that.

The two Romano cards do seem to be the same to me. Will say I have looked at a lot of cards in this set trying to find players who appeared on two or more different flavor boxes. And for the 1962 Jell-O issue, it is much tougher to determine this than doing it for the Post Cereal cards ... and really the 63 Jell-O cards also. Normally in making this determination, one compares the cropping of the picture, colors of the card (including the shade of the yellow of the stat background) of these Jell-O cards. Some other Post/Jell-O card issues have differences in the narrative portion of the card that indicates multiple box appearances by a player. However for the 62 Jell-Os cards, I am not aware of any of these narrative differences. And that is about all you have beyond the shininess of the overall card coming from cards from pudding flavors. One of the factors that increases difficulty in looking at these Jell-O cards is certainly that the picture cropping is much tougher to spot than in other card promotions. Cropping differences in this set tend to be pretty minimal. Since there is no historical information on which players were on which flavor boxes, that only makes things tougher.

Related to Romano card specifically, he did appear on at least two different Jell-O boxes ... a 3 oz. Orange-Pineapple box and a 6 oz. Black Cherry box. This is known as there are examples in the hobby of these two Romano boxes that have been seen, primarily on eBay or other auctions.

These 2 boxes were from the recent Memory Lane Auction. The Aaron went for over $4000, the Maris went for around $2000.
The Aaron/Orange box was not yet on Ken's list.

Another picture of the Maris.

Just checking in to see if anyone else has found more 62 Jell-O pudding cards.

There was a 1962 Harmon Killebrew box used to illustrate an article on Sports Collectors Daily (https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...ey-mantle-box/). I am trying to 1) locate the box and 2) try to arrange to purchase if possible. Anyone know where it is? Thanks.

I wanted to thank Ken Marks and Mike Reid for their help in getting me a final, and fair restitution, for the 'missing' Jell-O boxes that I had consigned. The auction house agreed to my valuation, and I was paid today.

I learned a great deal about the Jell-O issue along the way, and how fortunate I was to not only find those boxes over 30 years ago, but to find two stand up guys whom helped me get an equitable, and fair payout.

I wish them the best of luck in their collecting endeavors, and to all a Merry Christmas.

Thanks again, The Dude. (Mark)
