Lot # 1374: 1961-1962 Fleer All-Time Greats PSA- and SGC-Graded Complete Set (154)

Offered is an extremely attractive high-grade complete set of 1961-1962 Fleer All-Time Greats. Issued over a period of two years (#1-88 issued in 1961 and #89-154 issued in 1962), this classic set features all the great stars of the past, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, and Cy Young. The 1961-1962 Fleer set was issued over a period of two years, exclusively to youngsters in wax packs. The higher-number cards issued in 1962 (#89-154) are considerably rarer than the lower-number cards issued in 1961 (#1-88), though both series are much rarer than Topps cards from the same years. 1961-1962 Fleer were issued in modest numbers because most kids were naturally a little more interested in cards of modern stars, such as Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays than cards of Grover Cleveland Alexander and Hal Schumacher. Few sets present such an interesting cross-section of old-timers (Hall of Famers and non-Hall of Famers) from all eras, or have as important a role in the history of baseball cards as the 1961-1962 Fleer All-Time Greats set. All 154 cards have been professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA (139), SGC (12), BVG (1), and GAI (2).
