A different issue from the 1961 Fleer Football set the 1961 Fleer Wallet Pictures issue are printed on thin paper typically hand-cut from The 1961-62 Complete Sports Pro-Football Illustrated (the cover advertises a "Pro Pix Wallet Album"). The set is comprised of 145 pictures many of which also appear in the 1961 Fleer football set.Hand-cut issues present a particular set of problems when it comes to grading. In general it is difficult to cut borders precisely enough that a card is awarded a high grade. Further photographic issues present their own sets of problems with respect to their lightweight paper; it is difficult to find photographic issues in high grade. Indeed of the 258 examples of cards from the 1961 Fleer Wallet Pictures set that PSA has graded just 20 have attained a grade of GEM MINT 10 and we are offering 15 of them here.Encased in their holders these cards appear to be gorgeous perfectly-centered photographs similar in nature to 1939 Playball baseball cards only sized more appropriately to the card sizes we have today. Included in this collection are fifteen cards all graded GEM MINT 10 by PSA including the following: Alan Ameche George Blanda (HOF) Dewey Bohling Chris Burford Al Carmichael Matt Hazeltine Bobby Mitchell (HOF) Dennit Morris Gern Nagler Jim Norton Volney Peters Frank Ryan Jim Sears Jim Smith and Bob White.A beautiful group of photographic cards from an oddball issue; excellent companion pieces for a 1961 Fleer collector.
