Fleer Baseball

Hey Dave - I don't recall ever seeing the sticker backed WS cards in the 81 Fleer cards I opened - but I do think there was a sticker backed All-Star Game set of cards illustrated by Bob Laughlin that also came out in 1981, again in separate packs, though. When Fleer had to drop gum from their packs, I do recall getting a boatload of the sticker backed Famous Feats cards, for some reason done in an underwhelming black, white and yellow, and for some reason also cut down to a set of 22 instead of the original 40. Poor Bob must have been shaking his head with that set...

Yeah, the 1981 Fleer stickers an the All-Star Game cartoons. It was the 1980 Fleer stickers that had the World Series cartoons. They only went back to 1940 for whatever reason.

I have the 1971 Laughlin World Series set and then the stickers for 1971-1979. That Clemente 1971 update is on my want list for sure.

Unfortunately most of my Fleer collecting came in the crappy post 1981 realm......lots of interesting Fleer sticker products even during that timeframe although they were severly overproduced. Great pictures as usual Al...........

Sorry, that is quite right. Now if I could only remember where I put them all......
