Well, Howard, at least Fred was kind enough to make you aware of a single-serving Post Cereal Koufax box. You are correct, of course, about the possibility of a 1962 JELL-O box with Roberto being the far greater catch. I don't recall if the early 80's find of '62 JELL-O unfolded boxes included one of Mr. Clemente. I will search the scan I have from David Kathman----YES, Lew Lipset's 1985 SCD ad shows a 1962 JELL-O unfolded Strawberry box with #173 Clemente as the free prize. Mr. Lipset wanted $235 at the time. For reference, he wanted $250 for Henry Aaron.
Since the ad was from 35 years ago, it would be difficult, to say the least, to track down what's become of that blue diamond Roberto Clemente. Ah, forget about it, bro; bask in your happiness of now owning those regal rare Clemente and Mantle 1960 Bazooka boxes. They are special, to be sure, and I'm sure happy for you, bro.
