Default 1961 Fleer

I was never a big fan of the design of those cards -- but in my 80's dealing days' the cards of the players that were living were strong sellers as many collectors got them autographed.

In addition, the higher series of 61 Fleers (Believed to actually have been issued in 1962) are difficult enough that they were also good sellers for me.

Plus, for kids at that time, those cards were great introduction to baseball history and did feature more than just superstars. Thus overall, there are a lot of positives to that set and to look fown on that set from a 50 year oerspective many not be fair to that set

Regards
Rich
