I don't believe Koufax was in the set at all, which is somewhat understandable, since his pre-1961 numbers were tepid at best. At the time, Dodger fans were probably more perturbed that young stud Frank Howard had been left out, while Gil Hodges was included--he absolutely sucked in 1960 and was old to boot. On the other hand, at least the set has Maury Wills.
I've always really liked that set--that Dodger panel is remarkable.
