Hell, maybe the centering isn't for everyone, but I have always adored this card due to the strange mystique surrounding its rareness (a short-printed card - with a huge number of them found 'checked' - in a set that had a very short shelf-life). Sort of my own personal 'Cardboard Bigfoot,' as I love catching even a glimpse of one...

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

Default 1952 Topps

Needed this guy for my set. 1952 Topps = 405/407. Likely the coolest card that I have ever owned. Love everything about it...the player, the condition, the color, the set...love it! 😊

NICE Jackie!!! I hope one day I will own that card...

Darren...count me in as a lover of the 63 Fleer Checklist...I've owned a couple over the years and my current card has light pencil markings and soft corners, and I love it. BTW...the reprints have "Printed in CSA" on the back at the bottom right, and the real cards have "Printed in USA". Amazing to see just how many reprints are on ebay at any given time aged to look old. It's one of the better reprints out there (I bought a mint one for whatever reason that sits next to my original)...

John...LOVE the Bob Feller! After my 60's are complete I am going to finish up my 58 Topps and begin the 55 Bowman...I've always loved those TV cards...

Went on a bender this weekend...added to my SGC run of Hank Aaron's and Harmon Killebrews...here are a couple of Aarons. Both solid for 2's...I just looked for cards with no creases. Both have not even a wrinkle...

Getting so close to finishing out the 60s I can smell it...

Down to 5848/5989 base cards, or 98%...needing 141. Only need 1 Mantle (63), 1 HOF rookie (63, Stargell) and I see the light on the 62 and 67 high numbers (picked up a ton this weekend). Here are a couple of cards I've owned previously...used to have an SGC 5 Rose...prices have changed just a bit, didn't know if anyone knew that...haha...so a 4 will have to do. I was hoping for a 5 in my Carew Rookie but couldn't pass up the deal on this one. The Carew will be "freed"...the Rose will not...it will be the only graded card for my set run due to the high amount of reprints/counterfits. I have one of those counterfit Rose cards for my binder...can't have a hole!







The Rose fits with my set standards...I need crease free cards above all else...soft corners are ok but has to be centered...OC is OK (gotta have border showing) if the corners are crisp. Everyone has their standards, those are mine...

Thanks. I had a beater copy of this card as a kid, maybe circa 1989 that my mother bought for me. This is a much upgraded replacement of that card.

63 Fleer Checklist

Scrolled through the "Sold" on Ebay and saw this one that sold for $175...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-Baseba...p2047675.l2557


Sucks...you can see on the back scan "Printed in CSA"...total reprint...someone got hosed.


Edit to add another reprint that sold for $145...hosed again...at least this person got free shipping...

Yowza!! I didn't even know about that until you posted it (and I'm sure every single person reading this thread who has one grabbed their card and flipped it over to see if they had been screwed). Thank God mine states it was printed in the the good ole USA. Are the reprints thinner than normal? In the back scan from that auction, you can see features of the front coming through. Unless the scanner has a uranium-235 element, that shouldn't happen. And the centering is too absolutely perfect all the way around. It sucks you can't contact buyers on ebay anymore.

Yep this is a seller that has mostly counterfeits. I saw that 63F checklist a lot over the last few months. Doesn't look quite right and priced much too cheap.

Add me to the list of people that hadn't heard about these reprints. At least by putting "Printed In CSA" on the back they made them easy to spot.

Darren, who cares about centering in this case. Beautiful card. I could just never pull the trigger to pick up this checklist, although I knew it was very rare without being checked.
