1962 Post Cereal Canadian baseball cards checklist & prices
I was a collector back then but for some reason I didn't pay much attention to the Post Cereal cards. I guess I loved my Maypo !!! Actually I loved my Farina with Nestle's Quick on top. But I degress... Wow !!! Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente AND a box of cereal !!! How could you go wrong ??? 1962 Post was a very popular issue !!! Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris's HOME RUN dual (remember Maris hit 61 in 1961 !) was such a huge deal that cards of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris were even issued as special inserts in LIFE Magazine. 1962 Post Cereal Canadian was a special version Post made for their Canadian collectors with the text in both French and English . The (2) versions are otherwise very similar and both the American and Canadian versions came in at (200) cards plus a bunch of variations.

High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the ‘50s-‘70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
