As others have pointed out, aside from Ted Williams, they are all post-career cards. If you study the pictures used, many of them are downright raunchy, whether simply a bad pose, or a picture of the player shortly before his actual death. On the other hand, the '61 Fleer Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner were superb, in my opinion. However, if you want to consider an even better post-career set, try the 1961 Golden Press Hall of Fame. Many GREAT poses, and all of them are full-length body poses, which makes for a refreshing change. However, the set is but 33 cards--much like, and even better than the DeLong Gum series of 1933, the player selection is among the best.
Any of these sets is strictly for enjoyment, and not future investment.
