Default Maury Wills Rookie Card...

Just some food for thought.

We've all heard through the years how strange it was that it took many years for Maury Wills to finally appear on a Topps card, because of licensing issues and whatnot (no need to rehash it here). Conventional wisdom has always pointed to the 1963 Fleer offering as being his 'rookie card,' which is weird because he had already been in the league since 1959. As unorthodox as it is (and yes, I'm being a bit facetious), shouldn't this 1960 card be considered his 'rookie' card??? I mean, Luis Aparicio has nothing but a cameo role in this cardboard movie...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
