1963 Fleer Baseball Cards
|
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. Airbrushing is the art of touching up a photo prior to the card being printed. It was generally done to remove imperfections or update or hide a players jersey/cap logo. Because of advancements in print technology and computers this is no longer needed.
All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.
