Kids have always loved variety packs of cereal, and the 1962 Post Ten Variety Pack Cereal Pack is no exception. Post Cereal has always issued standard-sized and oversized cereal boxes, but changed things up in 1962 by issuing individual boxes called “Post Tens.” The small boxes were situated on cardboard trays.

The boxes could be opened and used as cereal bowls. The Post Tens tray was a platform for the boxes, and had three 1962 baseball cards on the bottom: # 131 Willie McCovey, # 75 Rocky Bridges, and # 5 Mickey Mantle. Complete Post Tens trays are very, very rare, which is why they sell so much when someone can find them.
