+1 for '63 Fleer. Sleeper set with some fantastic players that look great.

Thank you all for the replies. I have written down all the suggestions to go start hunting. I did recently buy a NM/MT 63 Fleer Koufax and loved the card and the price! Ill check out some of the other HOFers in that set.

Might also want to consider the Milk Duds or Kellogg's run of cards. You can collect the complete Milk Dud boxes or the relatively cheap clipped/cut cards. There is a wide range of prices sufficient to suit any collecting criteria.

Regarding Kellogg's - the key is collecting cards which aren't cracked. The cracking often times is difficult to accurately detect in the photos online.

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the heads up on the Kellogg's! Anything to look for on any of the other recommended sets?

1955 Topps double headers.So undervalued in my mind.
1964 bazooka stamps are cool…. Only 100 players.
1971 Topps greatest moments…. Expensive but so freakin cool!

Every time Jolly posts a 71 Greatest Moments I want to jump in...then the prices bring me back to reality. So cool, and I do have to imagine they are very good investments. I have to pull the trigger on the Killebrew card as it's one of the few I need. But yes, those are sweet...

Would also suggest looking at the 1964 Auravision records/cards. Small, but extremely star studded set, very reasonable prices for them, and I think they are arguably some of the greatest, most clear and stunning photos of players from the 50s and 60s that are out there. In person and in hand, they are absolutely gorgeous, and not too difficult to find in great shape.

Also, at least for some time in the past as far as I can remember, one of the few sets where the Willie Mays card was actually more valuable than Mickey Mantle's as Mays was supposedly a short print, if memory serves me correctly.
