Football Card Question
This is not inline with this thread, but I wonder about this and hope someone can answer it.
In the beginning days of the AFL, Fleer issued 132 cards of AFL players only in the inaugural year of 1960. They issued 88 cards in 1962 and 1963 before ending their contributions. In 1961 BOTH Topps and Fleer put out cards with the first 2/3 of the sets being NFL and the last 1/3 being AFL players. Why did this happen and why did they stop doing it the next year? I know Fleer had 220 cards and think Topps had about the same more-than-normal amount of cards as well. Were there legalities involved? I know in 1959 Fleer only issued th eTed Williams set and then in 1960 and 1961 issued stars from the past, to avoid issues with Topps, I assume. IN 1963 they did issue 66 current players but put cookies in the wrappers instead of gum. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.
