Odd they spelled his name wrong, they got it right on his 57 Topps card.

Good ole UER from Fleer. I agree on that Peter. He has a total of maybe 3 cards (1 Topps, 1 Fleer, and a Regional or 2) and his Fleer is spelled wrong.

For those who don't know: Full name: Phil Jordon
Fleer 1961 Spelling: Phil Jordan

Adds another interesting note to his life and story.

Thanks!

So.......just need a Signed (on card) Carl Braun to complete my #1 Registry Signed 1961 Fleer set and got antsy.............emailed PSA/DNA to see if i could even do this.........they said I could..........so...........bought a Carl Braun cut on Ebay. Bought a 1961 Fleer Braun on Ebay. Got some double sided tape at Michael's. VOILA!!!!!!! I cut the Braun auto down a bit to fit on the card and sent it to PSA/DNA. They authenticated the "Cut" only. The card is real but I just needed the Auto authenticated for this purpose.

I now have an "outside the box" 100% complete 1961 Fleer Signed Basketball set with EVERY card slabbed in a PSA/DNA Red Flip except this one!

Trust, me, when I find a Braun signed on card, my wallet will take a hit. Just sayin'. This is a cool filler for the time being!

Peace, Mike

If you can't win under the system, change it. Go outside the box. Congrats.

For some reason this reminds me of the Star Trek episode where it was revealed that Kirk was the only person ever at the Star Fleet Academy to defeat the computer in some war game. It was, in fact, impossible to defeat the computer. But that didn't deter Kirk. He reprogrammed it.

I got a good smile from that. Loved the Star Trek notation! Just wanted to clarify 1 thing. PSA/DNA will not allow this card to be registered in my set as those cards are Red Label On Card autos. I certainly went outside the box to make my set whole with a "filler" in a roundabout way but I still need an "on card" Braun Auto to complete the 1961 Signed Registry set.

I know you must have one in your vast collection......please????

Peace, Mike

Awesome, Mike.


I traded my last basketball card, an ungraded Lew Alcindor RC, for an ungraded T206 Walter Johnson portrait - both were about EX and both the WaJo and the store owner who made the trade with me are long gone.

Indeed. It's an interesting philosophical question whether Kirk "cheated."
