RichardOK, I must defend my spat-upon Topps sets. Set for set, I prefer Topps.
1960 - The Fleer set is just downright U-G-L-Y. One of the few sets I haven't even bothered to try and collect, and I collect everything. The Topps set may be simple, but at least it ain't ugly.
1961 - I love the colored backgrounds on the Topps set and it is one of my favorite 60's sets from any company. The Fleer set is OK, because it contains players from both leagues, but the dark, depressing colors of the photography remind me of too many rainy days.
1962 - OK, I dislike the landscape format of the Topps set and the black borders, but the player selection in the Fleer set is not really there either. I do like the colored borders however. It's a toss up to me.
1963 - Yes, the Fleer set has some high-powered rookies, and some tough SP's, and is hard to find in general, but the Topps set has all the colors man! I mean look at the colors! ............Ahhhhhhh, the colors man! Groovy!
I may be a bit biased with the 63's however.\
