I once had a conversation with Ted Williams about his BB cards and he told me that Fleer initially offered him $500 to portray
him in their 1959 set. But, after Topps and Fleer got into a bidding war over this, Fleer prevailed and paid Williams $5000.
I also talked to Del Ennis on this same subject and he said he was paid less than $50 and a bunch of his BB cards. So, it had
something to do with how big a star you were back then.
