A childhood collection in a plain white box turns up a 1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain rookie

A childhood collection assembled decades ago by a brother and sister, kept loose in a plain white box with no sleeves or top loaders, was bought by Just Collect. The centerpiece is a 1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain rookie, which the dealer notes has a back stain that lowers value but leaves it 'still very desirable.' The lot also carried a 1960 Topps Mickey Mantle and a Mantle All-Star card, plus Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Ernie Banks, Willie Mays, Reggie Jackson and a 1959 Topps Alex Karras rookie. No purchase price was disclosed.
