In 1959 Fleer signed Ted Williams away from Topps. Fleer card #68 showed Williams together with Bucky Harris, who was still under contract with Topps. As a result, an extremely limited number of these cards were released, and those, only after a personal request was made directly to Fleer. This amazing uncut sheet of 15 cards includes this very rare #68, entitled "Ted Signs For 1959." Technically, the 10 3/8" x 13" sheet grades a technical VG, due to a few wrinkles and some corner wear. Stock is missing at the upper left, but this is a border area that would have been removed if the cards had been cut from the sheet. However, many of the cards, including #68 EX+, are clean and wrinkle free, (it has a slight touch to the bottom corner). A fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the truly rare modern cards, in an equally rare uncut format.
