1962 Jell-O short prints -- is there a list somewhere???

[brian1961]

Thank you for the rich discourse on the 1962 JELL-Os, Ken. Though I'm out of the ball game now, I enjoy learning about certain post-war regional / food issues. It's a pity the hobby did not try to decipher the history and the multitude of nuances of this extremely challenging set 40 years ago. Then again, I can understand why most of those aficionados would keep quiet about them; they were working on their own sets......... It is just as I wrote about in NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

Well Ken, as you reminded me, at least I got to actually see them at my local JEWEL grocery store in the summer of '62. Though my dear mother refused my pleadings for some, the seed was planted, and in the intervening years my eyes would indeed notice any 1962 JELL-Os that crossed my path. Maybe I never got very far with the set, I still deeply cherish my two complete boxes. Those treasured acquisitions, along with my bittersweet memories of seeing them as an 8-year-old, are why I included the set in my book. I will try to get in touch with you soon to help you with your own book, bro.

I wish those few of you who are pursuing this post-war monster the very best of success.

You'll need every break you can get.
