toughest 1962 Jello

[Kenmarks]

Agree with you. Did you see the lot of 29 cards lot that sold maybe a week ago. 28 of the cards are pretty findable. But the 29th was the super tough Gene Stephens. Perhaps the second toughest of the entire set. That lot went for a bit over $1600, and totally driven by the one card. I had the same thoughts you did for Tasby on this Stephens card. Certainly expensive, but less that what the market has brough for the toughies the last 3 or 4 years. Prices might be softening on those super-SPs.

I did see that lot and was an underbidder (way under)...I don't want to out the Gilliam auction that listed recently, but it is already at $1k+. In about 8 days we'll collectively see if the theory on the softening market on these SSPs holds.

Thanks guys for all of the information. I posted my back in 2019. I still have not found a Flood, Simmons, or Grammas.

I found it interesting that someone posted how difficult a 1963 Jello Bob Gibson is. I was able to snag one a few years ago. I have all of the Post Cereal and Jello cards except for the 1962 Jello tough ones I listed above.

I’m glad there aren’t any Cubs on the list, I think Don Zimmer was the last one I needed years ago and could probably use an upgrade.

Shockingly 2 Grammas have sold recently. I Flood was listed not too long ago and a Simmons, while not top 5 difficult, is currently listed in a lot. But good luck with that as it is listed along with a Stafford.
All of the cards should have been listed separately.
