This site is devoted to sharing information about vintage basketball sports cards. The primary focus of this site, however, is the 1961 Fleer Basketball set.
In my opinion, the 1961 Fleer Basketball set is the greatest basketball set of all time. The 1961 Fleer set is the most copied set in the basketball card category. The colorful design and loaded set list are just two more reasons for this set's popularity.
This site contains information not otherwise available anywhere else including:
- Identification of most players depicted in each In Action card ("1961 Fleer In Action Expanded")
- Detailed information as to how to evaluate the quality of 1961 cards beyond simply looking at the grade ("1961 Evaluation Secrets")
- Explanation as to why cards #1-#6 are difficult to find in high grades ("Uncut 1961 Fleer Sheet")
- Comprehensive list of all sets using the 1961 Fleer design ("1961 Fleer Retros")
- A section how to identify an original 1961 Fleer cards versus a Reprint ("How To Identify A Reprint")
- Identification of most secondary players depicted in each 1957 Topps basketball card ("1957 Topps Expanded")
- Detailed information as to how to evaluate the quality of 1957 Topps cards beyond the grade ("1957 Evaluation Secrets")
- Detailed information as to how to evaluate the quality of 1948 Bowman cards beyond the grade ("1948 Evaluation Secrets")
Hope you enjoy this site.
