Another Set Done...1963 Fleer

[Harliduck]

Not a really big set, but one I have wanted to complete for a long time. When I was a kid I remember meeting an older gentleman at a Seattle Mariners game who sat behind me and my family. I must have been 12 or 13 at the time, and he was impressed I had brought some Mariner cards for signing after the game (circa 1982, not many stud M players, lol). He gave me a 1963 Fleer Tommy Davis and Bob Gibson card to go with my collection. I couldn't wait to get home to see what kind of cards these were in my price guide, as I didn't recognize them at all. They were marked up with ink and hammered, but totally COOL to a 12 year old. When I found out that my 81 and 82 Fleer had grandparents, I was pretty excited and the envy of my buds at school.

Fast forward to present...when I got back into collecting this set completely intrigued me. I set out to put a EX set together. Last week I got my last regular card in Carl Yaz...and wasn't planning on a Checklist until later. Well...got lucky on the bay...and won this -




I know it's only a 3, BUT its unmarked and good enough for me, this is one tough card. I'll be freeing it upon arrival and putting it with the rest. Pretty excited! I LOVE slipping that last card in...and really excited to have such a unique set in my collection...
