Good afternoon, John. Brian Powell here. Several years ago, I wrote an E-book on a CD entitled, Never Cheaper By the Dozen. It's a 478-page whopper of a book about the immediate post-war regional / food issues---those special "free prizes" with a purchase. All too often, they're murder if you're trying to complete the set, or get individual stars, particularly in high-graded condition. I devoted chapter 5 to the amazing 1962 Salada Coins, titled, "WHEN YOU REALLY LIKE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW IT". It's 18 pages long, and there just might be a few things in there you didn't know about this wondrous set.
Should you be interested in purchasing the book, Google the title and you'll find the press release entry still available to see on the Sports Collector's Digest site. It was written by their fine former editor, and my editor, Tom Bartsch. At the end of the press release is ordering details. Again John, it's an E-book on a CD. You read it by installing the disc into the disc drive of your computer. If you don't have a disc drive, I'm afraid I've wasted your time. Regardless, have fun pursuing the '62 Saladas; that was one special food issue!  Kind regards, Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 04-11-2020 at 07:52 PM.

A fun anecdote story about this Salada set that my late uncle and late grandfather told me was when they collected this series they couldn`t get Yaz for some reason to complete the set. My uncle and grandfather lived in the Boston area, so they wrote Salada a letter saying they would pay a little extra for the Yaz. Salada sent them a Yaz for free to complete the set.

Good story, Mrsportscardcollector! It was nice of Salada to supply the missing coin!
Ironically, the only set I ever tried to complete as a kid was the 1966 Topps set. The only card I was missing was #70 Yaz!

Salada Spreadsheet
Thanks to the images of the two uncut Salada sheets supplied by Fred, I was able to assemble a spreadsheet by team comparing printing sheet #1 with printing sheet #2. Sheet #1 contains the original 180 coins; sheet #2 has #s 201 through 221 in place of 21 coins that were removed from sheet #1.
I also put together a side-by-side checklist comparing the two sheets. They are too large to post here, but if anyone would like a copy, send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a copy. John
