This one set me back the princely sum of $19 delivered, which I consider a bargain for a member of the baseball Hall of Fame. Kiner's career was cut short, after 10 major league seasons, due to back issues, but was elected to Cooperstown in 1975. He had a long career as a NY Mets radio announcer. At the time of his death in 2014, he was the last living player featured in the 1960 and 1961 Fleer Baseball Greats sets. Only 5 other players featured in those sets lived into the 21st centurey (Lou Boudreau, Marty Marion, Bob Feller, Ted Williams, and Eddie Joost.)
