Coming off three sets of Funny Valentine cards, in 1963, Topps issued a twist to the Valentine theme with the "Valentine Foldees". The cards measured 2 1/2" W by 4 11/16" H arranged in a horizontal format onto three panels. The two end panels were perforated in the center where they could be folded back and forth over the central image to create multiple other images. The interesting cards number (55) in total and have some crossover baseball interest with Babe Ruth cards in the set.
This near set (46/55) of the 1963 Topps "Valentine Foldees" range in condition from Good to EX with most falling into the VG/VGEX range. The missing cards are: 2, 7, 11, 18, 21, 26, 29, 42 and 43. Great oddball near set from the hey day of Topps issues.
