1959 Fleer The Three Stooges - Complete Set of 96 Cards - PSA, BVG, & SGC GPA 7 .
Issued by Fleer in 1959, The Three Stooges trading card set is a landmark non-sport release celebrating America's most famous slapstick comedy trio - Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard. Spanning 96 black-and-white cards, the set combines publicity stills, staged gags, and film images with humorous captions that perfectly capture the Stooges' zany brand of physical comedy. The reverse sides include brief text or "Stooge wisdom," adding even more personality to each card. Beloved for its sharp photography and witty design, the set became an instant favorite among collectors and remains one of the most iconic and valuable comedy-themed issues of the 1950s. Variations include checklist backs and corrected captions, and add depth for advanced collectors, while the classic humor ensures its enduring charm more than six decades later.

Offered here is a complete set of graded cards. Not included here are the checklist variant cards: 16b, 63b, and 64b. The cards and their assigned grades are listed here:

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These auctions are presented only online and bidding is only taken through our website. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10:00 PM CST the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CST, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:03, the new end time for that lot would become 10:33. If no other bids were placed before 10:33, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
