1962 Post Canadian Koufax “walks”
 

I need Larry Sherry, Jim Gilliam, and the Koufax “walks” spelled correctly variation to complete my Dodgers team set.

Just watched the Koufax variation sell on ebay for over $600!! and the variation wasn’t even noted on the listing title. It’s the first one I’ve seen auctioned since I started looking for it about a year ago. I thought I might have a chance to get it around $250 when it stalled a couple days ago around the $220 mark but I had no idea it would finish this strong. Guess I’ll just be printing the picture of it out as a placeholder in my binder cuz I’ll never pay that much for it!

Joe:

You missed my listing on ebay! Not that you would have bought it anyway after reading your post above

I ended up selling it off ebay for more than the one that just sold on ebay,

It is really a rare card as it only came on a very bad tasting 7 oz, Grape Nuts Flakes cereal box that was not a very good selling cereal to kids back in the day.

Man, makes the $600 one look like a deal, haha. Yours was in slightly worse condition, too. I have to give you the credit for learning about it. I had no idea it existed until you mentioned it to me a while ago.

Just checked my stash to see if I could help, and it turned out I have the "Wzlks" Koufax and only Hodges and Roseboro. :(

What is the easiest way to differentiate the 10oz Alpha-Bits Koufax card from the 7 oz Grape Nuts card version? Does the 'WZLKS" version appear on the Grape Nuts cards or are all the Grape Nuts cards the "WALKS" version?

As I mentioned above, the rare wAlks version ONLY comes on the Grape Nut Flakes box. Flakes is highlighted because cards appeared on both Grape Nut cereal AND Grape Nut Flakes

Thanks for checking!

I read what you mentioned above, which was why I asked my question. I understand that the "WALKS" version appears only on the 7oz GNF box. However, my question was does the "WZLKS" version also appear on a 7oz GNF box. In other words, can both the "WALKS" and "WZLKS" version be found on a 7oz GNF box?

Your message posed another question, does Koufax appear on a "Grape Nuts Flakes 7oz" box, an "Alpha Bits 10oz " box and a "Grape Nuts" box also? I was under the impression this card was a double print, not a triple print. In my earlier post, I apologize for using just "7oz grape nuts" instead of "7oz grape nuts flakes" as I was not aware that Koufax appeared on a regular grape nuts box.
