Attractive midgrade near-set of 1961 Fleer "Baseball Greats" cards, missing just four for completion.  The majority of the cards present well, largely VG/EX-EX, with some lesser and a few better.  Card #14 of Ty Cobb grades FAIR with surface wear, and several other cards (#2 Alexander, #5 Cochrane, #18 Comiskey, #23 Evers, #50 Kiner, #55 Lombardi, #64 Most, #69 Reynolds, #87 Wilson) exhibit some staining that is likely from clear tape removal.  As is often the case with this issue for some reason, the high number cards are in better condition than the lower numbers, with perhaps eight cards from the lower series and two or three of the higher series grading F-P.  Missing #38 (Grove), 43 (Hornsby), 61 (Medwick), 75 (Ruth), 78 (Sisler), and 83 (Walsh) for completion.  148 cards total.
