I agree...there are some REALLY bad cards in 1961. As I am putting the set together though, there are some really classic cards as well. Love some of them posted already. Not my favorite Mantle, but the Maris is classic. Here are a couple to me that shine...great poses not seen often -
Not a fan of the All Star cards...or the Leaders...but overall, I do love the set, or learning to love the set. Probably would have been my last 60's set to attack, especially given the high numbers, just lucked into a good deal to start.
