This was Fleer’s second effort at producing a baseball greats series, a 154-card effort that featured Baseball Hall of Famers, major stars and the sole modern player that Fleer had under contract at the time, Ted Williams. This is a really nice group of more than five dozen cards – mostly different but with a wee bit of duplication - from the issue, largely Very Good to Ex-Mt, with some below, and an emphasis perhaps to VG-Ex. Here’s the lineup: 1 Checklist, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 15 (2), 17, 22 (2), 24, 28 Foxx (VG), 31 Gehrig (Fair), 32, 33, 34, 39, 41, 44, 46, 48, 49 Johnson (Ex-Mt), 50, 53, 60, 63 (2), 64, 68, 69, 70, 72, 75 Ruth (VG), 77, 79, 80 (2), 82, 84 (2), 102, 105, 108, 115, 120 (2), 125, 126 (3), 128, 130, 134, 138 (3), 141 (2), 142, 147, 149 and 154.
