'63 Fleer
Jeff, I agree '63 Fleer is sweet. I also like '61. A man could do a lot worse than go on a 60s Fleer run!

I think my favorite three are: 1962 Topps, 1968 Topps & 1966 Philadelphia in that order. The only problem w/ the '62's are they don't look great w/ too much edge wear which is common due to the black borders.

Like you guys I love the Fleer sets, and need just 20 cards to complete my run. The only gripe I have with the 1961 set is that because of the back colors the numbers can be hard to read:)
Here is my 1961 wrapper and my unnumbered 1963 checklist card. I've seen the "FREE SECRET MAGIC MESSAGE" inserts on eBay, and they don't look all that exciting? I'm sure most of these were tossed in the trash can. Larry http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...Scan%201_3.jpghttp://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...n/Scan%203.jpg |

Favorite 60's FB Set
No question: 65 tallboys. Had about half as a kid. Loved the size and the fact that about half the team were in the set. SP's a challenge and clear photos.
2nd - 66 Philadelphia 3rd - 59 topps. last place tie: 68 topps and 64 topps. |

1968 Topps and 1961 Fleer. The 1968 set I fell in love with as a kid and have always collected. Great clean graphics and images. I also like the way some old guard players are in the set on the way out (Taylor and Ditka come to mind) and some new rookies are in there too. Plus there were good inserts.
The 1961 Fleer set is amazing to me for some images especially the Packers. I wanted the Jimmy brown ever since a neighbor kid showed me one. I just bought my 2nd. An upgrade. PSA 9 oc. |

My Vote

My biggest issue with the 1968's has been centering. Now, I am not a centering nut. Some folks need that perfect 50/50 centering. I'm not that picky. But, I have seen the majority of the cards I've run into from this set with 75/25 or worse centering. So, my set is nice as far as registration and corners, but the centering is all over the place, and I just can't see myself spending the extra dollars to look for those better pieces when there are so many nice sets out there. The 1969's didn't have these issues. 1970 was better, but not perfect. And I don't see these problems with my 1967's. So, was something wrong in 1968?
