Not really. If I am done searching a show for old cards, I might flip through a few at a table. I picked up 89 of the 1961 Fleer 14 years ago as part of a deal which was primarily for a near set of 1957 Topps (minus Williams, Aaron and six commons-no checklists). I prefer the 1960 Fleer and that is way down on the list of what I would look for to the point it is an afterthought at best.

I like the '60 Fleer Ted Williams because it is his last card as an active player. Was buying them in the early '90's in raw NMt-Mt, before it seems that many others appreciated the card as having that status, for about $40.00 apiece. Had 10-12 of them, and sold them all when the expected increase in value came, except one as my keeper. I look at that card, and keep seeing the films of Teddy Ballgame hitting a homerun at Fenway in his last career at bat.
As to the '61's, am in full agreement that their non-contempory status pretty much eliminates their appeal to a true vintage collector, although I think those with autographs are pretty neat! Enjoy your collecting, whatever vehicle it might take! Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 05-07-2011 at 03:47 PM.

I put both sets together in the late 70's and early 80's while in High School and college from flea markets and card shops. My mother had helped an older woman clean her attic 5 years or so earlier, and there were about 20 61 Fleer cards in that attic. A friend and me split them up and I took Frank Chance with my first pick, he took the Ted Williams.... oh welll.....
I like the sets and still have it in binders.

1961 Fleer
I was never a big fan of the design of those cards -- but in my 80's dealing days' the cards of the players that were living were strong sellers as many collectors got them autographed.
In addition, the higher series of 61 Fleers (Believed to actually have been issued in 1962) are difficult enough that they were also good sellers for me. Plus, for kids at that time, those cards were great introduction to baseball history and did feature more than just superstars. Thus overall, there are a lot of positives to that set and to look fown on that set from a 50 year oerspective many not be fair to that set Regards Rich
