1962 Jello?

[keepmeposted]

Hello Fellow POSTulates. A Net54 enthusiast suggested I place the following notification on this thread.

I'm happy to announce that books covering the 1961 and 1963 Post baseball U.S. promotion and 1962 Canadian Post baseball promotion are finally being reissued. The print shop estimates the job will be done on 7 November.

Based on the printer's price quote, I am estimating that the books will run $30-$50 each. Each will have a color plasticized cover and be bound in a plastic claw spiral. Cardboard, Crunch, Milk & Scissors (CCM&S) -- 1961 Post is 126 black and white (B&W) pages. Postage Due -- 1963 Post is 84 B&W pages. Northern Exposure -- 1962 Post Canadian is 23 color and 48 B&W pages.

Having lost all of the digital masters for the books in moving from South Carolina to California, I have re-created the monographs and actually made some minor additions. The books will be generated using paper mats and using a new print shop. The quoted price necessitates restricting CCM&S and Postage Due to twenty (20) copies. Due to the cost of color pages, Northern Exposure will be limited to ten (10) copies.

The foregoing announcement is simply a "heads up" to my valued and patient fellow Post baseball card friends. No need to respond, and I will be sending out a notice once the reprinted books are in my hands. In the interim, my only request is that you take time to vote in your local and general elections. Blessings to each of you and don't hesitate to KEEPMEPOSTED!

Thinking back, I collected or dabbled in the following items throughout 1962:

1961-62 Shirriff/Salada Hockey Coins
Leaf Spook Stories cards
1962 Topps Baseball cards
1962 Shirriff Baseball Coins
Jell-O/Hostess Aircraft Wheels
1962 Post Cereal Baseball cards
1962 Post Cereal CFL cards
Topps Civil War News cards
1962-63 Topps Hockey cards

DC Superhero comics & Archie Jaguar comics
marbles
pea shooter

But what made the Post Cereal cards extra special and a particular delight was they didn't require any spending on my part. I'd just accompany my mom to the supermarket and "help" her out selecting groceries for the family.
