1961 Fleer Football Cards
Fleer released its 1961 football card set in two series. The first series, cards 1-132, contains players from NFL teams. The second series, cards 133-220, contains players from AFL teams. According to the price guides, second series cards are scarcer than first series cards, and hence are worth more. In reality, the second series cards are easier to find than the first series cards, and they sell for less. Also check out my 1961 Fleer virtual uncut sheets, and see F is for Fleer for descriptions of the 1960-1963 football card sets.
Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1961 Fleer set: Don Maynard, Jim Otto.
