SCD Article
Does anyone have the SCD article posted by Dave (Topcat) in this thread in a PDF file? I would like a copy to add to my history files regarding Post Cereal and Jello cards. Thanks, Mike

Set of 1960 Post Boxes
If you have not seen, the REA auction has started recently and there are 9 complete 1960 Post Cereal Grape Nuts Flakes boxes with the different players all in one lot. Believe likely these are the same boxes that were sold roughly 10 years ago at a Mastro auction. What a nice lot. Been trying, so far unsuccessfully, to get a read on the production codes at the bottom of those boxes to verify exactly when the boxes were produced in 1960. Anyway, just thought I would point out this lot.

Promotion Timing
I think we figured out when the 1960 Post Cereal sports-card promotion boxes were issued. Fred McKie worked with Robert Edwards Auction (REA) and obtained the cereal packaging date codes for each of the 9 1960 Post Cereal sports-card boxes that they are auctioning in their current auction. These dates are all in the same general time frame that Kirk Robinson's box is. Those dates were:
Kirk's Johnny Unitas Box January 20, 1960 (small Grape Nuts Flakes box) REA boxes: Johnny Unitas January 21, 1960 (small box) Al Kaline January 26, 1960 (small box) Don Drysdale January 8, 1960 (small box) Frank Gifford January 21, 1960 (small box) Bob Cousy January 21, 1960 (small box) Frank Gifford January 21, 1960 (small box) Mickey Mantle March 9, 1960 (large box) Harmon Killebrew December 1, 1959 (large box) Bob Pettit December 1, 1959 (large box) So based on these cereal production dates, believe we can say with a high degree of certainty that these cards came out around the beginning of 1960.
