The 1962
Post baseball card set consist of 200 cards that measure approximately
2 1/2" x 3 1/2". The horizontally designed cards are
grouped numerically by team as follows: New York Yankees (1-13),
Detroit (14-26), Baltimore (27-36), Cleveland (37-45), Chicago White
Sox (46-55), Boston (56-64), Washington (65-73), Los Angeles Angels
(74-82), Minnesota (83-91), Kansas City (92-100), Los Angeles
Dodgers (101-115), Cincinnati (116-130), San Francisco (131-144),
Milwaukee (145-157), St. Louis (158-168), Pittsburgh (169-181),
Chicago Cubs (182-191), and Philadelphia (192-200). Cards 5B Mickey
Mantle, and 6B Roger Maris were printed on thin stock in a two-card
panel and distributed in a Life magazine promotion. The checklist
for this set is the same as that of 1962 Jello and 1962 Post
Canadian, but those sets are considered separate issues.
