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. Bazooka Bazooka Bubble Gum put baseball cards on the back of their boxes from 1959 thru 1971. Complete boxes and panels can get extremely costly. Most kids back then could not afford complete boxes of bubble gum at one making Bazooka cards quite scarce. I actually don't recall ever obtaining a Bazooka card directly from a box as a kid. Do you ???
Black Sox Scandal Name given to the the most famous scandal in baseball history after the 1919 Chicago White Sox versus the Cincinatti Reds World Series when 8 White Sox players were accused of throwing the series. Details have remained somewhat unclear. The players were acquitted of criminal charges but 8 players still received a lifetime ban from professional baseball including the All-Time great "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.
Blank-Back a card in which nothing is printed on the back. These cards are usually not in packs and are either "PROOF ISSUES" or were removed from the factory in some way.
Blanket a term used for collectibles in the 1910's made of fabric .
Border is the part of the card that surrounds the photo or image.
Bowman was a card manufacturer in the 1940's and 1950's that was bought out by Topps. In 1989 Topps started issuing cards using the Bowman brand.
Break a term used to indicate the opening of a set, pack, box or case.
Break Value is the total book value of each card added up individually. The break value of a set is usually way, way more than the value of the complete set.
