A 1963 Fleer Autographed Near-Set
December 27th, 2009 | Published in Autographs, Interesting Message Board Threads | 2 Comments
Back in January I posted an article about an autographed 1963 Fleer Billy Shaw card that I picked up on eBay. Well, one collector has done 80 cards better: he has autographed copies of 81 of the 89 cards in the 1963 Fleer set. Yesterday he posted pictures of all of them on the Collectors Universe message board. Check them out!
I’m not an autograph expert, but the jewel in his set appears to be the checklist, which is in great shape and inscribed by Lance Alworth. (You need to scroll down in his post to see it.) The checklist is the toughest card in the set, because its thin borders make it hard to find well-centered. It is also a short print, as are two other cards in the set. They’re not as short-printed as the price guides indicate, though. See my 1963 Fleer virtual uncut sheet for an explanation.

I’m leaving this message here because I couldn’t find a place in the proper category. The 1972 Sunoco stamps series actually had a little plastic pocket folder to carry the stamps in. I suppose the idea was, you could carry them safely to school or your friends house to trade. I thought you would find it interesting.

That is interesting; I had no idea. You don’t happen to have one, do you, Jesse? I’d like to post a picture.
