The first of two (2) Canadian Football League trading card sets released by the cereal company Post, the cards measure the standard size and were issued on the backs of boxes of Post Cereals distributed in Canada. Not available directly from the company via a send-in offer as with other Post Cereal issues, the set featured a total of 137 cards in all and includes short-printed and more limited examples in its checklist, with many of the desirable "SP" offerings sporting white coloured backs instead of the typically seen brown. Released in a year that saw the Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the 50th Grey Cup, offered here is this lot of 1962 Post CFL uncut cereal box backs/panels that includes sixteen (16) different examples with 107 total cards. Including ten (10) panels with seven cards, one (1) panel with 8 cards, four (4) panels with six cards and one (1) panel with five cards, the ten (10) panels with seven cards measure out to an average of approx. 7 1/2" x 11 1/2" with one (1) smaller and one (1) larger while the panel with eight cards is around 8 1/2" x 10", the panels with six cards are around 7" x 7 1/2" and finally, the panel with five cards is around 6 1/4" x 7 1/2". Of note, all the sizes are taken at their largest points for both the width and length. Including some duplicates throughout the group as well as notable players such as Jackie Parker (x2 - one with creases), Bernie Faloney (x3 - one with small creases and a tiny pen mark and one with light spot toning and a light surface dent with pencil on the reverse), Ron Lancaster (small tear at the bottom left corner), Johnny Bright, Russ Jackson (small light crease and ding at bottom right), Angelo Mosca, Dick Shatto and Hal Patterson. In terms of condition, one of the panels has pen marks that are worth noting for accuracy while other this observed include; light creasing, glue stains, spots of paper loss on the reverses, small tears, edge/corner wear and light-to-moderate toning.
