Bob Lemke has produced several custom Post cards in the 1961 to 1963 format. He sometimes sells them. Often they involve players who were not in the original issues or features them in different poses. I know he did a Mantle Jello card. Not sure if has done Jello others. They are designated a recent creations on back. I have several, my favorite being the missing card 145 from the Topps 1958 set

Ed, Some of your Aaron's from the 62 Post set may have different colors depending on what box type it came from. It's the same card just from a different cereal box type.

Is that '58 of the ne'er-do-well Ed Bouchee?

[ALR-bishop]

Yes. I think he has done two versions of it. Bouche does show up as 145 on the the second series checklist on the back of the Washington Senators team card. On latter CLs in the set, 145 is blank

Here are a couple "fake" Jell-O boxes. Even went as far as putting generic Jell-O in the boxes. The boxes say 6 Ounce but are 4 ounce size.

I have made several of these for friends with different cards on them. In hand though like Bobs amazing examples they are easy to tell they are not real. One super easy way to tell most fakes is wipe it with a wet cloth. You might clean a little dirt off a real one but the ink from the fakes will be smeared and ruined.

Good info. Thanks for the responses.
