1967 Topps WHO AM I ?It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays (pictured above) !!!
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Mickey Mantle with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Mantle with the coating removed is closer to $50.

The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly,
exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and a clue to help kids identify
the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to
"Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail." 
Cards came in wax packs with 24 packs per box and the set is packed with desirable cards: Shakespear, Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Einstein,
Queen Elizabeth, Joan of Arc, Julius Caesar, Columbus and Jackie Kennedy to name just a few. 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
