Complete high-grade set of 1962 Post Cereal Football cards, consisting of 200 different cards from Post's only football set produced within the United States. Condition is 56% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt (including fourteen Nr/Mt-Mt), 32% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 12% Gd to Vg (including three lower). The preceding grades are without respect to the neatness of the cut as some of the cards are cut inside of the borders and would qualify only for "Authentic" if submitted for professional grading. (The cards are generally cut neatly, although there are some cases of jagged or tapering cuts.) Seventy-four cards are graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #6 Hornung (NM 7), 8 Kramer (EX 5), 10 Moore (Ex-Mt), 12 Starr (NM 7), 13 Taylor (NM 7), 24 Morrison (Ex+), 25 Nolan (NM-MT 8), 28 Shofner (NM 7), 29 Tittle (NM 7), 37 Jurgensen (Nr/Mt), 41 Richardson (Ex+), 43 Walston (Ex), 54 McCord (Vg+), 59 Schmidt (Ex-Mt+), 61 Brown (NM 7), 62 Fiss (wax on reverse, otherwise Nr/Mt+), 74 S. Baker (ink and glue residue on reverse, otherwise Ex), 90 Unitas (Ex), 93 D. Baker (Vg), 97 Johnson (Ex-Mt), 103 St. Clair (Vg-Ex), 110 Coia (Vg-Ex), 111 Ditka (NM 7), 117 L. Morris (EX 5), 126 Layne (Ex-Mt), 133 Tracy (NM 7), 135 Clarke (Vg), 136 Connelly (NM-MT 8), 139 Green (Gd), 141 Lilly (NM 7), 142 Meredith (Nr/Mt), 145 Tubbs (Vg+), 153 Koman (Vg-Ex), 158 Guglielmi (NM 7), 169 Pardee (Vg-Ex), 176 Joyce (stray pencil mark, otherwise Vg-Ex), 184 Tarkenton (EX-MT 6), 186 Youso (wax on reverse, otherwise Nr/Mt+), 188 Anderson (NM 7), and 193 Krakoski (NM-MT 8).
