Looking for fellow 1962 Jell-O collectors

[skil55voy]

I have been working with Ken Marks on compiling a box list for the 62 Jello's. I have combined the Pudding and Gelatin lists into one list by player. We still have a few holes. For viewing I have posted some pictures of some 62 Jello cards. Three of the most difficult ones: Richardson, Stafford and Simmons. A box with Aparicio and a full bordered Groat.

I cannot even begin to describe the envy I have for the Richardson, Simmons and Stafford. Not that they are perfect but they are damn nice examples. I have seen the Simmons but never the Richardson or the Stafford. Thank you for sharing! You guys may drag me into wanting the boxes at some point and I have a great appreciation for them and their scarcity, just not their yet, lol.

Agree. Very nice examples.

After a wonderful chat with Ken last night, I think I have more of an appreciation for the boxes. Obviously for the scarcity but also for the information that the boxes provide. While I don't see myself running across any of these on a regular basis, I'm now going to keep my eyes open and think I would like to have one or more to go along with my set. Each day I seem to gain a deeper appreciation for these cards. Can't wait until I'm able to land one of the "big ones" from the set!

Well.....so much for thinking I wanted to add a full box to my collection. After the Nellie Fox that ended on Ebay over the weekend, I might have to rethink that, lol. I'm not sure if that is a pretty common price for the complete box or not, but it ended about 3x more than what I figured it would. Then again, I really had no clue. I'm hoping one of the fellow members here was able to snatch it up!

Hey Promethius88, would you please enlighten me on the grim, gory bidding details of the '62 Nellie Fox JELL-O box. Did you save the listing photo--would love to scrutinize it. I missed that; not that I would have bid, but I would have loved to enjoy a bowl of JELL-O while the last 10 minutes ticked down. Thanks ahead of time. --- Brian Powell

Looks like 2 big dogs fought for it:
