14% EX/MT, 44% EX, 37% VG/EX, 5%VG, a few lesser.  Missing just the checklist plus the rookie cards of Hall of Famers Len Dawson and Lance Alworth (the rookie cards are featured elsewhere in this auction), nearly-complete set of 1963 Fleer football cards.  The last of Fleer's football issues, the set features a host of important cards despite its relatively small size.  Though the rare checklist is not included, the set's other two rarities - single-printed cards of Charles Long (EX) and Bob Dougherty (EX/MT) are include, two of the most difficult-to-find football cards of the decade.

The cards present extremely well, the primary condition flaws being related to centering and other quality control issues.  Some of the cards do exhibit light signs of handling, but for the most part, the cards are clean, with bright red borders.  A breakdown of the keys is as follows:  #6 Long (EX), 10 Buoniconti (HOF - VG/EX), 15 Maynard (HOF - EX), 24 Kemp (VG/EX), 28 Shaw (HOF - VG/EX), 36 Blanda (HOF - VG/EX), 51 Robinson (HOF - EX), 62 Otto (HOF - VG/EX), 64 Dougherty (EX/MT), 73 Mix (HOF - EX).  An outstanding collection.  86 cards total.
