1959 Fleer Set
I personally think this is the worst set of the 1950s. I don't like that it is based on ONE player, I don't care how great they are. Some don't actually consider this a "set", I do. The photos are very drab and the design is poor. What is your take on this set?

Not my favorite set, but it sold better than their 63 effort.

I agree that it isn't very appealing to the eye, however, in my mostly uninformed opinion, I think that it is undervalued. When you think about what the '54 #1 & #250, '55 #2, 56 #5, 57&58 #1 plus the AS cards sell for - and then compare what the '59 fleer cards sold for, it seems like a bargain. I am comparing apples & oranges, I know...

The best set from the 50's by far. Hope to own one some day. Yes it is based on one player but that player was by far the best of his era.

2nd one down. I remember when these were faked, Summer of '75. The guy had sold a bunch of them at the Philly show, and by the time he got to the LA show a few weeks later suspicions were high, and the promoters banned them from the show. Turned out to be for good reason.
I think they were sold by a guy from Detroit named Whelan. |

Some people see things as they are and wonder why. Bob dreams of things that never were and says.....there it is.

[QUOTE=pclpads;1586629]Yes easily over the 52 Topps set. Seriously there are 80 cards of the greatest hitter ever and they tell his life story. As a Ted Williams fan I could not imagine a better set from the 50's.

[QUOTE=pclpads;1586629]Yes. The cards are beautiful, much more so than 52 Topps or anything else. No commons; every card is a HOFer. And cameos by Babe Ruth, Jimmie foxx, Sam Snead and John Wayne.

I like this set a lot. The Williams/Ruth card is a favorite, and for some reason I have a disproportionate love for "How Ted Hit .400."
Had thought about turning my 20 or so cards into a set but was put off by the rare Ted Signs card. Decided I didn't love the set quite enough to throw down big $$. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Adjusted for inflation your 38 bucks if it was say 65', is 300 today. Which is still a good price.
