Nice set design that utilizes a pennant for the team name. The typical HOFers can be found in this mid-60s set.

I bought my first cards in 65, 10 years old, went to the local five and dime, and in it was a Ron Fairly- Fairly was a key guy for the Dodgers at the time, and I lived in Long Beach Cal, and he played high school baseball and basketball in Long Beach so was kind of a local legend. | ||
One of my favorite card designs. | ||
