1960 Fleer Baseball Greats
Description
1960 Fleer Baseball Greats is a 79-card set which is designated as "R418-2" in the American Card Catalog. As they were prohibited by Topps from issuing cards of current players, this set features only one active player: Ted Williams.
There are no known scarcities, although three different versions of an eightieth card (Pepper Martin with either reverse with Eddie Collins, Joe Tinker or Lefty Grove) exists. According to Fleer, card #80 was not issued because of contract problems. A set is considered complete without card #80.
The cards were printed on a 96-card sheet with 17 double prints. These are noted in the checklist below by DP. On the sheet the second Eddie Collins card is typically found in the number 80 position. Some cards have been discovered with wrong backs.
Distribution
24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $0.05).
