(part 2)
Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set. Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player’s actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player’s "real" autograph. Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets. Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers. Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement.

1969 Topps Baseball Stamps checklist and prices
|
The 1969 Topps Stamps set contained (240) 1x1-7/16 inch unnumbered stamps
with player's photo and name,team & position inside a colored banner.
The stamps were released in both horizontal (2 rows of 6) & vertical (2 columns of 6).
1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue.
The 1974 Stamps have ovals rather than banners at bottom and
came only in horizontal 12-stamp panels. 
To store the stamps, Topps issued a set of 24 mini albums,
one for each team. The booklets were the same size as a baseball card
and held a complete 10-stamp team set.
More fun for kids, the back cover had facsimile autographs of
all the players in the team set. The design is nearly identical to the
Topps 1969 football 4-in-1 stamp booklets. The vintage issue below featured elsewhere on this website:
1963 Fleer BaseballIn 1960 & 1961 Fleer produced baseball card sets of old-timers like Ruth,Gehrig & Cobb, ... but kids weren't impressed. They wanted current stars. Fleer had to try something new ... COOKIES !!! In an attempt by Fleer to circumvent Topps exclusive rights to baseball cards, they issued their 1963 baseball cards with cherry flavored cookies instead of gum.
Much of the above is true but Wills has said there was no "feud" with Topps and that he simply had signed exclusive agreements with Fleer.

1963 Fleer baseball cards Checklist and Prices
|
The 1963 Fleer baseball card issue was most likely intended to be a much larger set
issued in multiple series but Topps sued Fleer after the first series was released
stopping further production. Due to Topps deep pockets Fleer soon pulled the set
from the market leaving this very popular set at just 66 cards plus an unnumbered checklist. 
But what a 66 cards!!! The 1963 Fleer cards are attractive and feature
an extremely high percentage of stars led by Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente
& Sandy Koufax along with 2 very scare Short Prints: Joe Adcock and the checklist. 
The most interesting card in this set is the Maury Wills Rookie card.
Even though Wills started his major league career with the Dodgers way back
in 1959 quickly becoming a superstar, his 1963 Fleer card is considered his
rookie ! How is this possible ?
Well, back in 1959, 1960 and 1961, Topps did not consider Wills worthy
enough to have a baseball card. 
As hobby lore has it: Wills was quite upset at this slight from Topps. After Wills won the 1962 N.L. MVP award,
Topps quickly came a knocking but Wills said "NO THANKS!".
From 1961 thru 1966, Wills prevented Topps from making his
cards. Wills and Topps finally made up making his 1967 Topps high number short print his first Topps card and
also his most expensive card. Adding interest to the Wills baseball card
story, Post Cereal released a Maury Wills card in their 1961
set making that
an earlier Maury Wills rookie.
Wills was also pictured on a
1960 Topps card featuring the 1959 World Series. That card featured
Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base with Wills pictured trying to make the tag. The vintage issue below featured elsewhere on this website:
