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.

Grade/Condition Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.
Graded Card As values increased the condition of cards and the determination of fakes and alterations became increasingly more important. Various companies became "graders" of your cards. For a fee they would grade your card (usually on a 1 to 10 scale) and then placed in a sealed plastic holder with labelling of the vital information.
From past experiences, most people are NOT HAPPY with the grades they receive. To keep values up, graders can be extremely picky. Things you don't see, they do so don't be surprized when the NEAR MINT card you send in ends up with an EX or EX/MINT grade.
There are TOO many grading companies - if you do, do choose carefully. PSA / SGC / GAI / BGS are some of the many companies. It is good to know that getting a card graded by a company that people do not recognize or respect will usually just cost you time and money and not help you in any way.
