The 1963 Fleer Baseball Set - A Tough Cookie to Complete in High Grade
The 1963 Fleer baseball set is one of the more popular issues of the decade due to the manageable number of cards needed to complete it
(67 with the checklist card) and the inclusion of so many stars of the day. While the set has one glaring omission - Mickey Mantle - it does contain cards of superstars
like Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays. In the following article, we take an in-depth look at the visually-appealing set.

1964 Topps Outer Limits - Black-Bordered Monsters
During the 1960s, the television show The Outer Limits rivaled the popular Twilight Zone series. In 1964, Topps decided to release a trading card set that contained
images from the popular show but, in an interesting twist, changed the storylines on the reverse of the cards. Surrounded by fragile black borders, this 50-card set is one of the
toughest non-sports sets of the era to find in high-grade. In the following piece, we talk to collectors who find this classic issue fascinating.

PSA SET REGISTRYSM SPOTLIGHT
Travelingvaz - The Number One Current Finest 1970 Kelloggs Football Set
Kelloggs, the popular cereal maker, produced a string of trading card sets during the 1970s after a multi-decade hiatus and it all started with this 60-card set.
Within the set are cards of players like Johnny Unitas, Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus. The set even has a rookie issue of controversial figure O.J. Simpson. Along with all
the great players is, of course, the 3D design that made these cards so popular then and now as evidenced by the fierce competition in the category. This particular set is
as good as it could ever get. With a perfect GPA of 10, this complete set is the first one ever to achieve such status and certainly worthy of special recognition in 2010. Click

PSA Q & A
Question: Is there more than one type of Miscut (MC) that can cause a card to either receive a qualifier or be rejected by PSA?
Answer: Yes. One type of Miscut has to do with the angle or way the blade cut the paper. For example, sometimes the blade may tear or cut the
card in an unorthodox way for the issue, causing an edge to appear extremely wavy. A second type of Miscut has more to do with the centering of the card or where the card was cut on the sheet.
For example, a card may be so off-center that you can actually see the beginning or the end of the card that appeared immediately next to it on the sheet. In all cases, depending on the severity,
PSA may or may not choose to place the card in a holder.
