Postwar Baseball - 1960s Cards

Complete set of 1962 Post Cereal, consisting of 200 cards. Includes both variations for #6, 14, 95, 109, 145, and 187. Condition is 21% Ex to Ex-Mt (including a couple better), 30% Vg-Ex, 40% Gd to Vg, and 9% lesser. The preceding grades, as well as those in the composite below, are without respect to the neatness of the cut as almost all the cards are cut inside of the borders and might only qualify for "Authentic" if submitted for professional grading. Keys: #5a Mantle (Gd), 6a Maris (pencil writing on reverse, otherwise Ex), 6b Maris (Fr), 7 Berra (Ex-Mt), 9 Ford (Vg+), 14a Cash (Vg), 20 Kaline (Vg+), 29 B. Robinson (Vg+), 55 Wynn (Gd), 61 Yastrzemski (Vg-Ex), 69 Keough (Pr due to pieces of tape and paper loss on front), 83 Allison (Fr), 92 Siebern (Fr), 95b Stephens (Ex+), 101 Hodges (Ex-Mt), 109a Koufax (Gd), 109b Koufax (Vg), 113 Larker (Vg), 114 Snider (Ex), 116 Coleman (Fr), 127 Lynch (Vg-Ex), 131 McCovey (Ex), 140 Marichal (Vg+), 142 Mays (Gd+), 145a Adcock (Fr-Gd), 149 Aaron (Vg-Ex), 158 White (Pr), and 173 Clemente (Gd). An extremely attractive complete set of this scarce and underrated early 1960s food issue. Total: 206 cards (set of 200 plus 6 variations). Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
