1963 Fleer Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values

Fleer's 1960 & 1961 baseball card issues were not huge successes. They were baseball card sets of old-timers like Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig ... but kids voted a big NO ! They wanted Willie Mays & Mickey Mantle. Fleer had to try something new ... COOKIES !!! Topps had exclusive rights to baseball cards with gum so Fleer packed cherry flavored cookies with their 1963 baseball cards.

1963 Topps Fleer Cookie The 1963 Fleer baseball card set planned to be larger but Topps lawsuit cut it short leaving just 66 cards plus a checklist.

But what 66 cards !!!   1963 Fleer cards are attractive & packed: also Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax ... plus 2 very scare Short Prints.

Maury Wills' Rookie card is an interesting story. In the majors since 1959, quickly became a superstar. So why 1963 for his rookie ??? Well, back in 1959 Topps deemed Wills NOT WORTHY enough to be on their baseball cards.

Wills was upset at the slight from Topps. After his 1962 MVP, Topps came a knocking but he said "NO !". No Topps cards ! Finally, in 1967 came a very scarce hi# Topps card, his first Topps and also most costly card. Adding interest, he had a 1961 Post Cereal card, years BEFORE his 'official' rookie. He also photo-bombed a 1960 Topps World Series card, trying to tag Luis Aparicio at 2nd.

Disclaimer: Above mostly true - but Wills has said, no feud, simply exclusive agreements.

Baseball card collecting terms (part S-Z)

Series are groups of cards in an issue released together. Example: Series #1 (cards #1-100) are released in April; Series #2 (#101-200) released in July; and so on. This allowed kids to easier complete sets. A side-effect was the creation of scarce "High Numbers".

Short Print (SP) is a card printed in lesser quantity than other cards in the set. Recent short prints are often serially-numbered.

Team Set is a group of all the cards of players for a certain team.

Test Issue is a small printing by a card company to see if products are of interest to collectors. Some of Topps neatest items are "Test Issues" like 1956 Topps Pins & 1974 Topps Puzzles.

Tobacco Card is typically from the early 1900's and were issued with tobacco products, the most famous of which is the T-206 Honus Wagner card.

Traded/Update Set is a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.

Trimmed Card is a card reduced in size mostly to hide damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards have very little value compared to the un-trimmed version. In some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands. The most famous 'trimmed' card is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large before it was trimmed down to size.

Unauthorized Issue is a card release which is not licensed by the league, player's association or player.

Variation is a card printed by the manufacturer that differs in some way from the normal card.

Wax Pack is a generic term for a pack of cards. The "wax" came from a time when packs were sealed in wax paper wrappers. Today it is still used for packs even though they no longer use wax paper.
