1960 Fleer Baseball Cards

The 1960 Fleer baseball set contained 79 regular-sized cards
honoring the careers of Hall-of-Famers like Babe Ruth, Walter
Johnson, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, Ted Williams and more !!!
Fleer was prevented from using current players by Topps'
exclusive rights, so they issued their Baseball Greats set using
retired players, managers, executives and the two league
commissioners. Luckily Fleer had their own exclusive rights deal
with Ted Williams, who quickly became the most in demand card in
the set. Unfortunately the weak card design and retired players
made it a giant dud with kids and the product was not well received.
There are very scarce variations with Joe Tinker,Eddie Collins
& Lefty Grove fronts, all with #80 Pepper Martin backs.
They are usually found cancelled or hand-cut from sheets. Likely
Pepper Martin's card was pulled due to contract issues.
The variations are not considered part of the complete set.

Baseball card collecting terms (part A)
Airbrushing is the art of touching up a photo prior to the card being printed.
It was generally done to remove imperfections or update or hide a players
jersey/cap logo. Because of advancements in print technology and computers this is
no longer needed.
All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the
previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number
issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards
are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.
Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live
or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
Auction Catalog lists the rules and descriptions and often images
of the items in an auction.
Authentication verification that an item (card, autograph) is genuine. Most "game-used"
material inserts have a written declaration of authenticity on the reverse.
Authorized Issue card or memorabilia item that has been properly licensed. If
the item is of a player, his written permission must be given in order for it to be considered authorized.
