1962 Post Cereal

I do have another question.

I've recently been taking notice of uncut panels being offered here and there and see that, at least for the ones I've looked at, there is a white space, or "gutter", around the cards which made it possible to cut them nicely and leave a full black line framing the card.

This sad Bill Kilmer card has blue on the outside of the black line on 3 sides. It's the only one I have that doesn't have white. I also notice it is thinner, like the Unitas. Another tray card?

Thanks for all the great info Kirk. The 2010 Standard Catalog makes no reference to any of this stuff

So I have just spent the last half hour thumbing through my cards and found this one. #37 Sonny Jurgensen (on thin stock). Now I know it was cut from a 1oz. Alpha-bits single serving box. Great stuff Kirk!

I don't have an instrument to measure the thickness of the card. But going through my near set, I found a few that seem a little thin:
#44 Chuck Weber
#103 Bob St. Clair
#186 Frank Youso
#193 Joe Krakoski

Also this one that feels thin for sure, and has the "gutter" that Footballdude mentions. So I would guess that this Bobby Layne card #126 was cut from the "Post-Ten Bottom Tray"?

It's always fun to see the stunned silence when Kirk, the king of 60's memorabilia, opens up the kimono.

Stunning pictures as usual, Kirk! Your knowledge about Post Cereal football could fill a book. Great insights. But now I'm going to have to go back through my set and take an even closer look at these cards.

Interesting as the cards on the back of the box were never issued in that configeration and the Advertisement
on the front of the box which featured Jon Arnett who was a star in those days, was never used either.

Interesting. Possibly pre-production samples of some sort? Would be pretty cool to find something like that in the Post vault.
