Best 1960s Non-Topps Set?

[LeftHandedDane]

I'm voting for 1962 Jello. Incredibly tough but has all the players. I love that the most valuable cards are rank-and-file players, not Mantle and Mays. And it had a different design than the Post (unlike 1963).

That is correct Jay, and what a fantastic first time issue.

I am working on the 63 Fleer set myself, but also think the 60 Leaf set and the 63 Post are good looking cards to collect.

1962 Post Cereal, 1963 Post Cereal, 1962 Salada Coins, 1967 Coca-Cola premiums (as produced by the company Coke hired to make them--Dexter Press), and the one that has grown on me the most, even if I don't collect it---1962 JELL-O. --- Brian Powell

Couple of honest questions for you here:

1) Why 62 and not 63? Because 62 is more difficult?

2) How do you feel about the blank backs with the stats on the front instead?

The 63 Jellos are identical to the Post Cereals, where the 62 Jellos are distinctive. Both sets are very tough, although 62 is tougher. So it might fit the OP's criteria as well - but it is really fun to collect - generally a life-long pursuit!

I guess if you want to go really nuts then you can collect the complete jello boxes.

Well, there is always poom for Jello.

I am a carnivore:



Also like potato chips



And maybe some bubble gum to cleanse the palate? Props to the 1960 Fleer set:



And the Nu-Card sets? Fugedaboutit.



Excuse me while I whip this out

The Salada coins are kind of neat items. Here are some from 1962. There is also an all metal set from 1963.
