Default Perceived or Real? Scarcity of 1959 Fleer Williams Card #68

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

It's not a myth....this card has always been rare. And, exactly for the contractual reason you stated.

Back in the '70s and '80s when more collectors completed sets, this card was highly sought after. In fact, this was the first BB card
to be reprinted (or counterfeited). Now, that more collectors seem to be more interested in getting star, or rare cards graded....
more of these #68 cards are appearing on ebay (and at shows); just because of it's monetary value.

This card is an excellent example of where its POP report is totally misleading the hobby.

I have put together 4 complete 80-card sets of this 1959 Fleer issue....and, I know of what I'm talking about regarding this #68 card.
