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. High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the ‘50s-‘70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
