1968-72 Fleer Cloth Stickers - Surprised at the market for these.

[darkhorse9]

I have been working on a master set of the Fleer cloth emblem stickers for a couple years now and I'm a bit surprised that there seems to be a real market for these.

Everyone one remembers those. Fleer made two peel off stickers for each team every year. Quite often Fleer would make a change to the team's logo some how. Often it was a very minute and almost imperceptible change unless you were looking for it. Sometimes it was just a color shading difference, other times it was a subtle adjustment.

There are 148 different variations and I am down to just needing four of them. They pop up on ebay every now and then, but the bidding for the harder to find ones is often through the roof. I'm stunned that there are people out there that (A)-Care about these and (B)- know which ones are hard to find.

You've got to really know your stuff to even notice when they pop up. There's a web site called the Fleer Sticker Project that did a good job of listing most of the variations. But other than that there's no real listing elsewhere when the casual collector would find it.
