These 61’s arrived in today’s mail. Is it just me or does this set not get a lot of love? I guess the ‘63 and ‘65 Topps issues would win a design contest over ‘61, but I still like them. This Aaron is cool because it shows you that old Milwaukee uniform with the black tomahawk - a lot of folks forget that it was not always red. And Yogi, while approaching the twilight of his career - still has a sweet smile and there is the classic left field backdrop of original Yankee Stadium.
More than happy with this mail day...and maybe now I’ll pickup some cheaper 61’s to go alone with these...
