Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1959 Fleer Baseball set consists of 80 cards. Each card bears a full-color horizontal or vertical image with a small caption printed along the bottom border, plus a bat-and-ball logo design at the corner with Williams' name. The reverse of each piece bears a continuing biography of Williams from his childhood through the 1958 season. The set's most scarce and therefore prized piece is Card #68 ("Ted Signs for 1959") which Fleer withdrew from the collection early in production.
Theodore Samuel Williams was an American professional baseball player and manager. He played his entire 19-year Major League Baseball (MLB) career, primarily as a left fielder, for the Boston Red Sox from 1939 to 1960; his career was interrupted by military service during World War II and the Korean War. Nicknamed "Teddy Ballgame", "the Kid", "the Splendid Splinter", and "The Thumper", Williams is regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history and to date is the last player to hit over .400 in a season. Some of his many career highlights include being a 19 time All-Star, two time MVP and two time Triple Crown winner. Ted Williams was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1966.
