1963 Fleer Football Cards
The 1963 Fleer football card set contains cards of 88 American Football League players, plus an unnumbered checklist. Three of the cards are short prints, but the short prints are not nearly as scarce as the price guides indicate. For details, see the Gallery's 1963 Fleer virtual uncut sheet.
1963 Fleer cards with numbers divisible by four were printed both with and without a red stripe on the bottom of the back. The cards without the stripe appear to be the ones that were in the bottom row of the uncut sheet. The uncut sheet page pictures one of them.
Also see my blog article, F is for Fleer, for an overview of the 1960-1963 Fleer football card sets.
Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1963 Fleer set: Lance Alworth, Nick Buoniconti, Len Dawson.
