I like the front card design and also most of the photo's chosen for the set. The backs are a bit plane jane, but not bad. I don't really collect sets, but the Brooks Robinson Fleer card is one of my favorites.
I'm with you; I would have liked to have seen what would come next for Fleer. |

I always liked them -- nice clean look and design. I'm not a set collector but I did pick up about 10 of them "along the way".

Topps did not halt this set. It was stopped short by poor sales. Gum trumped cookies . It is a great set. I have the set and an unopened cookie. :-)

The cookies tasted awful. But I remember the anticipation of "the next series" and how much I wanted Frank Robinson on a card with that design. For some reason I never got the Clemente back then, so just completed the set some five years ago. In a rare fit of intelligence, I didn't mark up the Checklist like I did with many other sets.
What's the story on the panel? Sales sample or something?

Nope, just a 3 card strip, normally printed back. The only salesman samples for Fleer that I've been able to track down is for the '59 set. There are tons of '60 strips out there and lots of '61 panels but I've never seen any salesman samples, and I've gone thru 30 years of auction catalogs.

I made a sweet deal on this checklist in nice shape last year and have an extra Adcock SP to trade. (On a side note, in the 'old' days of posting on-line, listing this card was always blocked because of the semi-bawdiness of his last name. Flags would always go up!!) Still need the Clemente, Wills and Gibson, unfortunately.

I completed the set on November 16, 2013 when I added Bob Gibson to the collection. I was very reluctant to go for this set because of it's small size, and the cards can be pricy. But it is my birth year, and I do like the cards design so I finally took the plunge.

I really like the cards from the set that I have seen, and will probably build the set eventually. Like the 1953 Bowman set, it's smaller in size, and it's different.
I love the Clemente and Brooks Robinson cards.
