Much more difficult than their Post cereal brethren, General Mills also produced cards on single packages of Jello gelatin products. These Jello examples are much more difficult to locate than the Post cereal cards, and were only available on individual boxes of the dessert products.
The cards were slightly smaller (due to being in smaller individual boxes), and have slightly different designs. There are plenty of stars in this offering including three Mickey Mantle cards. This group also includes FIVE full Jello backs of boxes, all including the side panel line of "HEY KIDS! Collect the entire set of 200 baseball trading cards - the top Major League Players - available on JELL-O Gelatin and Post Cereal Packages."
