Cheap Cool Cards #27: 1961 Fleer Baseball
Are you a fan of vintage baseball cards?Do you collect hall of famers?Are you a penny-pinching, bargain bin hunting collector like myself?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then 1961 Fleerbaseball cards might be for you. A few years ago, I picked up this Mickey Cochrane off of COMC for $6:
If slabbed copies aren't your thing... you can buy raw copies on COMC for under $2:
That's not bad for a fifty-four year old piece of cardboard featuring one of the greatest catchers of all-time. To top it off... the set's design is solid. The stars, stripes, and pennant on the front give this set an America'sfavorite pastime vibe, while the card backs feature a brief summary about the player and their career totals. I also really like the way Fleer utilized a trophy cup to number their cards.
It's your turn folks...
Happy Flashback Friday and sayonara!
