Here's one I used to have. I traded it away for some tougher cards from the 1962 Jell-O set that I needed.

This is great! Another unknown flavor for a player identified. We did not have Tuttle with a flavor in our list.

I think I've also seen a picture of a 1962 Jell-O Tuttle lemon gelatin, but I can't seem to locate it. If I do, I will post the picture.

I know this thread is primarily focused on intact Jello boxes. I have my dad's "album" that he glued his Post cards into when he was a kid, and I took a number of pictures of each of the pages. Is there any interest/would there be any use for me to post those pictures here? Or should I start a separate thread? They might all be common cards, and you experts might not learn anything new. But since you seem to be able to determine some amazing information from the cards themselves, I didn't know if that would be of any help. Just let me know.

I would say post the pictures. We are always interested in seeing cards. You could post them in this thread, or start a new thread. Either way would be fine.

Here are my recent pickups for the 1962 Jello Complete Boxes, just back from PSA.

Pretty happy with the grades. Obviously with such large pieces and so many moving parts, there’s bound to be some imperfections, toning, soiling, dents and dings, print errata, etc. Going in, I was hoping they would get as high as a 7, but was resigned to the possibility they might grade as low as a 4. Although if we’re being honest, considering these are the only complete boxes ever graded for these players from this set, the grades are secondary. Plus even if another piece were to be found and graded, the odds are good that it would struggle to grade above a 1, simply because most of these boxes were actually used to hold jello mix, and so just the process of opening them leaves enough damage to the ends that they won’t grade above that level.
