Post Cereal Box Card Questions
Posted By: Trae
I recently purchased a 62' Mantle Post #5 card, how do I determine if it is #5A or #5B? I am not sure what that is in reference to in the Beckett Online Guide. The card simply says 5 on the back, and there is no plain #5 in the beckett guide. Also the card was torn along a perforated edge from the cereal box, as opposed to being cut down to the black borders of the card. If this card was cut to the lines which are still perfectly in-tact it would probably be a mint card - is that considered trimming, and if so is it ethical in this scenario, and where would I have it done if it was acceptable? Would it be better to simply leave it alone as-is? |

Both the Maris and the Mantle were inserted in the April 1962 issue of Life magazine with Liz Taylor in Cleopatra on the cover. I believe the perfed one you have would be from the magazine. Not sure which is worth more, the one from the mag or the cereal box. |

Thank you! Should I leave it as-is then with the prefs intact? I believe they are both worth the same, the 5A and 5B showed no difference in price in Beckett. However, this does have the Post Cereal logo on the backs of both cards - would that still exhibit a magazine as the source? |

I am currently a member of VCT (vintage card traders). This is also a great group of guys that mainly collect the years that you asking questions about. There are "experts" in the group that could help you with your questions. If you do have questions about topps and bowman plus abstract issue such as post - it will be these guys that can answer your questions. |
