Favorite 1960's Football Set

[Publius]

Oof, tough question.

65 Toops, 61 Fleer, 62 Topps, 63 Fleer probably in that order. I love the mix of AFL and NFL in the 61 Fleer set, the backdrops and design, but hard to beat that tall boy set.....

I'll go with the 1963 Topps set: plenty of stars, some big rookies (Nitschke, Lilly, Jones), colored borders, and enough short prints and otherwise tough cards to make it a challenge. The "purple sky" variations are nice twist, too.

I love the 1967 and 1969 Topps, and the 1962 and 1963 Fleer. Since the 1969 set is the only one of the four that has both AFL and NFL players, I will rank it number one. I do prefer the first series over the second.

Oddly enough, my least favorite set of the 60's is the 65's. I guess that makes me the oddball...lol.

No, not an oddball at all as I am not a fan of the tall boys either. The colors are nice but I just don't care for the bigger size.

#1: '63 Fleer. Has Bambi's, RC on which he looks about 11 years old. Not included on your list, but 2nd fav would be '60 Bell Brand Rams. Tough to find in decent shape w/o the potato chip stains.

I also like the 69 set and Piccolo has always been my favorite, despite the set having several key players. His card always reminds me to live each day to the fullest because we just never know when and where life will reach its final days. Keep one on my desk at work and one at my desk at home.

Other than that, the 67 is fascinating to me, the 62 is tough tough tough, and I really like the 63 as well. Always felt the Philadelphia sets to be undervalued and under-appreciated, they are simply loaded with stars.
