Description
Complete 1959 Fleer Ted Williams 80-Card Set – A Legendary Compilation Celebrating “The Splendid Splinter”. Up for auction is a remarkable collection that celebrates one of baseball’s most venerated legends, Theodore Samuel "Ted" Williams. This is a complete 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set, consisting of 80 trading cards. Each card singularly chronicles the illustrious career of "The Splendid Splinter", from his rookie days to his time as a fighter pilot in World War II and the Korean War, back to his historic moments on the diamond. Historical Significance: In the pantheon of baseball, few names shine as brightly as Ted Williams. With a career batting average of .344, two Triple Crowns, and a two-time MVP award, Williams’s legend was well-established by the time Fleer Corporation decided to produce this unparalleled set. The 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set is unique as it was one of the first trading cards sets to focus on the career of a single player, offering an unprecedented look into the life and legacy of a baseball giant. The set perfectly encapsulates moments both iconic and intimate, from card #1 "The Early Years" to card #80 "Ted's Goals for 1959". Card #68, "Ted Signs for 1959", is particularly noteworthy for collectors due to Fleer's legal dispute with Williams's current baseball team at the time, the Boston Red Sox, which led to the card's limited production and makes it one of the keys to the set's value. This complete set of cards stands out due to its remarkably preserved state. It has been meticulously cared for by collectors who have understood the value and historical importance of the set. Condition: Each card has been reviewed for condition and scores highly in terms of color, centering, edges, and corners. The set has no significant flaws that typically affect cards of this age, such as creases or gum stains. Auction Value Estimate: In light of its preserved condition and completeness, including the rare #68 card, the estimated auction value of this set is between 15,000-30,000. The final auction price could be influenced by the nostalgia and personal value it holds to individual collectors, potentially driving the value even higher. Collector's Note: The pursuit of this complete 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set represents more than an addition to a collection—it is an acquisition of a piece of history, a tribute to one of the greatest figures in sports. For the discerning collector or the die-hard baseball enthusiast, this set offers a comprehensive journey through the professional and personal milestones of Ted Williams' life.
