I...What a great site for Fleer reference material.<br /><br />I especially enjoyed the this article as I had the NFL covers in 3rd or 4th grade, if I knew of the AFL covers, I would have asked for those also. In 1967 I collected Philly Football cards and would ask my mom to buy a pack or 2 when checking out at Winn Dixie or Grand Union, this is how I first became aware of the book covers. When they arrived, I recall the brilliant colors and seemingly high quality paper stock.<br /><br />Thanks for the memories, I will keep looking for them at card shows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732323058938563751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455498748416586967.post-28643978400719800572019-03-04T13:50:50.246-08:002019-03-04T13:50:50.246-08:00I loved this segment of the blog.

Did not know the AFL book covers were made and would love to see some of these at a card show.

I moved out of the house at age 18 in 1978 content in knowing this set was safe in the den room in an old oak desk. I came home sometime in the next school year looking for them to be sure they were safe but nowhere to be found. I asked my mom about them and she said oh, do you mean the ones on your brothers text books? Damn that pissed me off. Still does to this day somewhat. I never was a collector so this was it. Do you have any idea of the value of such a set. I’ve been watching for years for these to show up. Only in the last several years have I seen them again. They are a beautiful work of Americana Freyguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240568510969524578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455498748416586967.post-69744655325157381502017-10-26T09:13:04.872-07:002017-10-26T09:13:04.872-07:00Great post, Jon--Interesting to see these.Great post, Jon--Interesting to see these.Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876940846467426875noreply@blogger.com
