Lot # 1727: 1963 Fleer Complete Set (67) Including Checklist

The 1963 Fleer set is considered by many to be among the most attractive as well as significant issues of the early 1960s. These cards have long been a special favorite of collectors, and with good reason: They are far rarer than Topps issues from the era; they are unusual; they have a great significance to the history of the "bubble-gum card wars"; and the set is relatively small and includes so many great stars from the golden era of the early 1960s. The fact that this set is very challenging to collect in high grade, and has a rare checklist card that is extremely difficult to find in high grade, gives this set a mystique and all-the-greater appeal to serious collectors. 1963 Fleer are never going out of style with advanced collectors. This is one of the premier sets of the 1960s. Condition is 9% Ex-Mt, 41% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 50% Gd to Vg (approximately two-thirds Vg and including three lesser). Keys: #4 B. Robinson (Vg), 5 Mays (Vg-Ex), 8 Yastrzemski (small mark near left border, otherwise Ex), 32 Santo (pencil mark on reverse, otherwise Vg), 41 Drysdale (Vg-Ex+), 42 Koufax (Vg), 43 Wills RC (smoothed out upper-right corner from storage in a screw-down holder, otherwise Ex), 45 Spahn (Vg), 46 Adcock (Gd+), 56 Clemente (Gd+), 59 Mazeroski (Ex-Mt), 61 Gibson (Vg+), 64 Cepeda (Vg), and Checklist (partially erased check marks front and back, otherwise Vg-Ex). This is a very attractive and consistent complete set of this extremely popular and scarce early 1960s issue. Total: 67 cards.
