Children have always enjoyed variety packets of cereal, and the Post Ten Variety Pack Cereal Pack from 1962 is no exception. Post Cereal had long offered standard-size, huge cereal boxes, but in 1962, company shook things up and began offering single-serving boxes called “Post Tens.” The small boxes were arranged in cardboard trays. The boxes might be cut open to serve as cereal dishes. The Post Tens tray served as a platform for the boxes, and the bottom featured three 1962 baseball cards: #131 Willie McCovey, #75 Rocky Bridges, and #5 Mickey Mantle. Complete Post Tens trays are extremely rare, which is why they command such high prices when they do become available.
