1961 Fleer Baseball Cards

The 1961 Fleer baseball set contained 154 regular-sized cards
honoring careers of Hall-of-Famers Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson,
Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, Ted Williams and many lesser
known old-timers.
Released in 2 series, the 2nd series cards #89-#154 are somewhat
tougher to find.
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.
Cards were sold in five-cent packs and packaged with two special
inserts; a logo team decal and team pennant sticker of past World Series
champions.

1968 Topps Action All-Star Stickers Checklist & Values
1968 was an awesome year for Topps test & oddball issues with
Game cards, Player Posters, 3-D cards, Plaks, Discs, Punchouts
and these "Baseball Action Stickers" also called "Action All-Stars
Stickers".
"Baseball Action Stickers" were STAR-PACKED 3-panel sticker strips,
some with facsimile autographs. There were (16) different strips in the
set but only 12 are totally different. #13 thru #16 re-used panels from
#1 thru #12.
Strips were perforated, folded at joints and put in packs.
Boxes had 12 packs (10 cents each) with 1 sticker per pack. Sets could be
made back then for $1.60. Today, the Mantle panel goes for around $2,000.
Collectors often collect just individual panels as complete strips are
so scarce, fragile & EXPENSIVE.
Single panels themselves are quite scarce - in 20+ years PSA has graded
just over 200 TOTAL compared to over 1,000 1952 Mantles !!!
PROOF sheet below is missing the facsimile autographs.
