1959 Fleer Set

I would pay a lot less for the bottom one.

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.

The one on the bottom for sure. The real cards have sort of an off white cream color border. I own and like the set, although it doesn't get any love. A complete set in quite nice condition and #68 graded general goes for only about $400-450. That said, I'm thinking of putting mine on the BST soon - not a plug - just recently selling a lot of my collection and this would be a good place to do it.

Paul,
it has been a couple of years, but did you list this set?

Kevin,

On our BST? Yes, but it didn't sell. It eventually ended up with another board member in a private sale.

You can read the story behind it in my recent post #97 in the following thread, here:

It survived totally unscathed!

I can confirm it was totally unscathed.
