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.

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
