Fleer was definitely easier but not super easy either, compared to prior years, and Topps were all over the place. Wouldn't be surprised if Topps decided to print twice as many cards in 1984, as they did in 1983.
Fleer and Donruss 1984-1986 were very difficult to locate in the Buffalo NY area. No stores or wholesalers had them. 1987 on the market was flooded.
