Bill Guerin’s rookie card is in the 1961 Fleer set. This set is loaded with Hall of Fame rookie cards such as Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Sam Jones, Lenny Wilkens and Bailey Howell. I purchased a raw card on eBay and sent it in a bubble mailer with a new blue sharpie.
Currently there are only 25 autographed Richie Guerin 1961 Fleer rookie cards in the PSA registry.
