toughest 1962 Jello

[Kenmarks]

Was just going thru the Net54 website for posts about the 1962 Jell-O set. Found this post that is about 10 years old now and got pretty limited action back then. Posted by Peter Mead and thought it was a very good question so was going to revive it by listing the toughest cards that I have found. In saying this, there are clearly different levels of "toughness" of cards within this set. While a number of cards are readily available (especially stars), there are a ton that are pretty tough. Thus it is somewhat arbitrary as to exactly where to draw a line when one identifies the "toughest". But here is my list in number order (21 cards):

1 Skowron
2 Richardson
13 Stafford
63 Paglaironi
69 Keough
70 Tasby
95 Stephens
112 Gilliam
113 Larker
115 Williams
116 Coleman
117 Blazingame
118 Freeze
156 Maye
157 Spangler
166 Flood
167 Simmons
168 Grammas
179 Law
180 Haddix
181 Smith

So this would be my list and certainly others could make a sustainable argument for other players that might be tough to refute with the limited amount of information available to collectors.
