toughest 1962 Jello

[hoot-owl]

Anybody out there collect the 1962 Jello set? Just curious who were/are the toughest cards to find beyond Bobby Richardson?

I still need about 40 for the set (and am always interested in buying them). There are still 8-10 cards that I have never seen for sale (or seen for large $$)--Pagliaroni, Spencer, Freese, Blasingame, Spangler, Simmons, Grammas, Bouchee and Maye.

Who is on your list?

you have to list the #s for me to check my list

Was just going thru the Net54 website for posts about the 1962 Jell-O set. Found this post that is about 10 years old now and got pretty limited action back then. Posted by Peter Mead and thought it was a very good question so was going to revive it by listing the toughest cards that I have found. In saying this, there are clearly different levels of "toughness" of cards within this set. While a number of cards are readily available (especially stars), there are a ton that are pretty tough. Thus it is somewhat arbitrary as to exactly where to draw a line when one identifies the "toughest". But here is my list in number order (21 cards):

1 Skowron
2 Richardson
13 Stafford
63 Paglaironi
69 Keough
70 Tasby
95 Stephens
112 Gilliam
113 Larker
115 Williams
116 Coleman
117 Blazingame
118 Freeze
156 Maye
157 Spangler
166 Flood
167 Simmons
168 Grammas
179 Law
180 Haddix
181 Smith

So this would be my list and certainly others could make a sustainable argument for other players that might be tough to refute with the limited amount of information available to collectors.

Hard to argue with that list.

Knowing I am missing all but 2 of the cards from that list, I can certainly agree! How come we hear about "finds" of old cards? Unopened boxes of Topps, recently with Bowman, I believe, T206's, the 64 Topps Giants, etc. When are we going to have a 62 Jell-O find hit the market?!?!?

No find here. I have a small stack of Jello cards I got as a kid from a local teacher who had been cutting them out. I had no idea what year...so dug them out. I'll be honest, I've never have been really excited about them so didn't know what I had. All were 1963, and only 1 1962 card...a nice Killebrew that is not on your list. So the great "Otto" find of one card isn't very significant!
