This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 7/15/2021
This is a really nice near set of the popular 1962 Post Cereal Baseball issue, found here in a highly attractive seemingly Excellent to Ex-Mt condition, with the emphasis to Excellent and a few below, and even some reaching Near-Mint, including a number of key Hall of Famers. It’s very rare to see this classic food issue so uniformly hand cut, and reasonably close to the dreaded black line, a grouping that was clearly all cut by the same careful person. As Ex-Mt condition example of the Maris card that was issued as an advertising insert in Life Magazine is one of the extras included. The nine missing Nos.: No. 2, 5 (Mantle), 15, 43, 68, 75, 96, 104 and 157. Breakdown of keys: No. 1 Skowron – Good, 2 Maris – Very Good, 7 Berra – VG-Ex, 9 Ford – Ex-Mt, 20 Kaline – Ex-Mt, 27 Gentile (both versions) – Ex and VG, 29 Brooks Robinson – Ex-Mt, 47 Fox – Ex-Mt-Plus, 49 Aparicio – Ex-Mt, 61 Yastrzemski – VG-Ex, 85 Killebrew – Ex-Mt-Plus, 109 Koufax – Ex-Mt-Plus, 110 Drysdale – Ex-Mt-Plus, 115 Snider – Near-Mint, 122 Frank Robinson – Ex-Mt-Plus, 131 McCovey – Ex-Mt, 136 Cepeda – Nr-Mt, 140 Marichal – Nr-Mt, 142 Mays – Ex-Mt-Plus, 147 Mathews – Nr-Mt, 149 Aaron – Nr-Mt, 173 Clemente – Ex-Mt-Plus and 188 Banks – Nr-Mt.
