Go ahead, check out the net. Bobby Richardson's 1963 Fleer is hard to find. But a Gem Mint example? Bless your Yankee-loving heart that you can grab this one. Richardson became a star the previous season and he even snared the McCovey line drive that ended the World Series and had Charlie Brown lamenting its trajectory. The diamond shaped cartoon inset looks cool but didn't impart much information. Solid photo reproduction characterizing the '63s puts both Richardson and Joe Amalfitano (GAI 9 MINT) into sharp, naturally colored focus. Fleer opted for a paragraph instead of year-by-year stats on the green-bordered reverse. This is a potent pair from a vintage line.
