Kent, I wish you the very best in your pursuit of collecting Mr. Koufax. He means a lot to some collectors, and the prices of his items prove it. Devote some quality time researching what may be had, and decide what you really want the most before you spend your money.
I must say Fred's 1963 JELL-O box is a dream piece for a Koufax collector.......
As one who is essentially "out of the game" of vintage collecting, my advice may be irrelevant, but it is usually a good idea to select pieces that appeal strongly to you, make you smile and feel glad you bought it every time you look at it, or think of it. It is wise you wish to pursue the regional / food items, since those often have intense eye appeal, and are special in having a built-in rarity, as Robert Edward Auctions founder, Rob Lifson, once described them to me.
Do strive to have fun in your venture.
All the best, Brian Powell
