1963 Fleer
GHG---I am not sure either and know the same hobby lore, but could not find anything to support it. Maybe someone else can help on that. I do know that although selling the cards with a cookie rather then gum got Fleer around the exclusive Topps contracts, there was apparently little interest by kids in 1963 for cards with a stale cookie as opposed to stale gum. I have an unopened 63 pack. Can you imagine what that cookie is like today, and what if any impact it has had on the top card.
I do have and like the 63 Fleer set and would rank it ahead of some of the Topps 60s sets in terms of appearance. I also liked the modern retro set Fleer put out in that style ( not sure what year it was).
