As for the other 2 boxes...... had I realized during the bidding that the 63 Jell-O was a different flavor than the one I have, I may have thrown another bid or 2 at it. I care less about the fact that it is uncirculated than that it is a flavor variant I do not have. As for going after it now, I know it's new owner and know it will not be available anytime soon, if again this lifetime. I do know where 1 other complete box with that flavor resides. I will have to broach the conversation, but suspect it too is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Regarding the Post cereal Alpha Bits partial box - I know the owner of a complete box and so far have been unable to be part of a deal that works for us both. The partial box is interesting, but not something I would chase knowing there is a complete box out there.

Congrats on the Clemente box. Crazy to see the Aaron, Mays and Clemente that all came out of the same find years ago all reappear at the same time!

Persistence always pays off, and it's just awesome to see this Clemente Box find its way home! Now if only we had a time machine...

Nicely done!
