1962 Post Cereal NFL Football set

I obtained this set from Larry Fritsch in 1980 (minus 5 cards) as this was a second high grade set he had personally assembled at the same time as his own set. I believe i paid about $400 or so for it (the guide had it for $125 at the time)--but I knew I would never again find such a beautiful (near) set of this classic food issue. In case you are wondering, it was lacking 2 SP's out of the 5 missing cards--#139 and 193. Notable rookies in the set include Fran Tarkenton and Mike Ditka. Bob Lilly, Gene Hickerson, Larry Wilson and Jim Johnson have cards that pre-date their first Topps or Philadelphia cards. The 40-some short printed cards are extremely challenging in any grade, and a few tough ones (#74,93 and 110) can bring very large sums. I have included my 1960 Post Cereal NFL large cards at the bottom of the page.
