1959 Fleer Ted Williams Complete 80-Card Master Set — All Graded PSA 8 NM-MT
Item Overview:
Up for sale is a breathtaking, completely assembled 1959 Fleer Ted Williams baseball card master set. This historic, career-retrospective release spans all 80 cards in the checklist, with every single card professionally authenticated, encased, and uniformly graded PSA 8 (Near Mint-Mint).
Building a uniform vintage set of this caliber through piece-by-piece acquisition requires years of auction hunting, considerable grading fees, and the challenge of overcoming low population scarcity. This offering presents a pristine, turnkey collection ready-made for immediate placement into a top-tier PSA Set Registry.
The Centerpiece: Card #68 "Ted Signs for 1959"
A complete 1959 Fleer set lives and dies by its ultimate gatekeeper—the heavily short-printed #68 card. Due to sudden contractual conflicts involving Red Sox General Manager Bucky Harris, Fleer stopped production early in the printing cycle, making raw examples extraordinarily rare and clean copies nearly impossible to find. The #68 included in this set features crisp corners, bold registry printing, excellent color, and is securely sealed in a stellar PSA 8 holder.
Set Presentation & Features:
* Uniform Grade: Every single card (#1 through #80) is graded a matching PSA 8 NM-MT.
* Storage Included: The set ships carefully filed inside two premium black PSA storage card boxes, organized numerically (#1 through #39 in Box 1; #40 through #80 in Box 2).
* Key Highlights: Includes beautiful PSA 8 examples of Card #1 (The Early Years), Card #2 (with Babe Ruth), Card #70 (with Jim Thorpe), and the checklist-ending Card #80.
