Significant New Info on 1960 Post Cereal Set

[whiteymet]

Hi Gang:

Ken, and I along with other advanced Post Cereal collectors have been doing research on the 1960 Post Cereal set for quite awhile. Ken laid out all the findings in the above post.

We feel it is very significant that a new variation has been found in the set. The fact that the Gifford was the only "card" issued on both size boxes of Grape Nut Flakes caused the variation Ken described.

Below are links to scans of both versions. I am having trouble attaching scans to this post. If that changes I will update.

Note the location of his signature.

FYI, there was a previous thread here on Net54 where we started to discuss the 1960 Post set. See:

Thanks for the information. I just picked up the Kaline. I really like this set and also think it very under rated.

A big thanks to you all for all the time and effort you have put into researching not only this set but others. It takes an amazing passion for something that can be so tedious and time consuming. THIS is what keeps the hobby going and many will benefit from your efforts for years to come, long after any of us are around. Again, thank you!
