Jerry G (Thank you Jerry!) sold me a starter set of 1961 Fleer Basketball on here about 4 or 5 years ago.
It is absolutely loaded with HOF Rookie cards and great NBA players. That journey took me on a detective, writing, and phone calling campaign (I called 2 players in the set and got autos from them!).
It's a time capsule in history. Wilt RC, Oscar RC, West RC, Elgin RC....and on and on.....
I've met Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson because of this set at the Shriners Show in Mass a few years ago!
I proceeded to have each card slabbed by PSA/DNA. It is currently the #1 set on their Registry and has garnered it's fair share of awards since and a nice article in an SMR PSA magazine about 15 months ago.
Drum roll.......I NEED 1 more card. It has a pop of ZERO but I know it's out there! Card #7 Carl Braun....he had decades to sign a card......I know it's out there! Thanks! Mike
PS A few goodies to peruse!
