I personally best enjoy the 1961-62 Fleer Greats set. The American design, the large roster of past greats and mediocres. Many dislike the photographs for some cards that show them as old men coaching, but I like that many of the images are not found on other cards. Series 2 is tougher than series 1 but still not difficult, it is fairly cheap to put together and a lot of fun-per-dollar.

1963 Fleer is a nice non-Topps set.

I'm with Phil- 1963 Fleer. Not a huge set, cool look, cool players.

It's hard to go wrong with Fleer. You get some Greats either way.
Only downside to 63 is the checklist. It cost me more to get that one than any other card. Mays, Koufax and Clemente were all cheaper. |

I would also go with 63 Fleer but I do like the 61/62 Greats. I also like the colorless 60 Leafs which involves some tough variations and proof test cards . Does anyone else collect the marble variations ? ( only kidding )

.I love the Leaf's. I have put together a series 1 set, the second series is pretty darn tough and I haven't started it yet. The roster of players in it is pretty weak, but that's not a bad thing for the set building wallet. |

The checklist is one of those formerly crazy cool cards that you would never get a glimpse of, because it was so rare. Now, you can see a bunch of them anytime you want on eBay. Big bummer.

It's at least a cute checklist if it's going to be the key card it might as well be a bit less boring than the 57 Topps ones that cost $$$$.
The Adcock it replaced on the sheet is pretty cheap still, last I looked. I did my set for like $150 at a snails pace between 2006 and 2019. Fleer re-used the design for a full set in 2003 that was pretty cool. |

Laughlin World Series?
Jell-O was a smart answer.
