Tune your antenna in, for this collection of mid-1960s Fleer non-sport issues. While Topps was dominating the trading card market, Fleer managed to make some hay by putting out sets based on hit TV shows of the day. Two of these shows put a humorous spin on military life, with the McHale's Navy" crew scheming their way through WWII while stationed in the South Pacific, and a good-natured goof from North Carolina keeping Sgt. Carter on his toes in "Gomer Pyle USMC". These classic shows from the days of antenna television live on, with this 1965 Fleer collection featuring:


McHale's Navy complete card set of (66/66) ranging (EX-MT to NM-MT);


Gomer Pyle USMA complete card set (66/66) ranging (80% EX to NM, 20% VG-EX);


McHale's Navy wax pack (EX);


Gomer Pyle USMC wax pack (EX-MT+);


McHale's Navy vending box with factory title stamp on the right end panel is pleasing with a well-formed shape, distinct graphics and moderate age toning, shows EX+ details with deference to a 3" split along the back end of the lid; 


Gomer Pyle USMC vending box with factory title stamp on the right end panel also retains a nice shape, with distinct graphics and moderate age toning, however a 1/4" swath of surface paper loss on the lid forces a grade of (GD-VG).
