Difference in '63 Post and Jello?

wufdude

I have a '63 Mays that I am not sure if it is a Post or Jello issue? Is there a way to tell? It is autographed and I want to send it in to PSA/DNA for authentication and grading but I was not sure if they graded Jello? I know I have seen some graded Post cards listed on Ebay.

I answered my own question regarding grading Jello. There are some Jello and Post listed in the pop reports. My other question still holds - How do I tell if it is Post or Jello?

Well get two women together in Bikinis. If they start wrestling in it, its jello.



sorry...

I'm afraid this is not going to help too much but I am sure that Beckett addressed this in the past year in the "Readers Write" section of Beckett Sports Collectibles (f/k/a Vintage). Unfortunately I do not save many back issues. The one thing I vaguely remember them saying had to do with the length of the line that runs above the stats section with one being longer on one issue than the other.

Here is the only thing I could find at this moment:

The 1962 Jell-O promotion and card distribution was far less boistrous than its cereal munching and crunching counterpart. In fact, a complete set of 1962 Jell-O baseball cards - in any condition - is very rare. Although never confirmed by GF insiders, many advanced collectors believe that the set was a test promotion centered in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Chicago, Illinois regions of the U.S. Baseball hobbyists enjoy a good mystery, and the 1962 Jell-O cards read like a classic "whodunnit". While sharing the same photographs (with cropping alterations) and parallel text as the Post cards, the Jell-O set is absent Brooks Robinson (#29), Ted Kluszewski (#82), and Smoky Burgess (#176).
