1981 Fleer Baseball

Collector's were excited when they heard Fleer was re-entering the baseball card market. Their prior issues, the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set and their 1963 Fleer baseball-Star sets were hgue succeses. What did they have up their sleeve ???
The answer was NOTHING !
What a mess. Awful ! Poorly printed on medicore card stock, the images were even worse. Then to cap it off, Fleer introduced tons of errors into their set. Some think it was done on purpose to force collector's to keep collecting. Nearly all were useless. The only one to draw much attention was the Graig Nettles variations. One had his name spelled Craig on back. WOW !!!
TOP ROOKIES: Hall-of-Famers Tim Raines and Harold Baines.
Who will ever forget "Fernando Mania" ???
Fleer didn't forget and had him featured on his own card while Topps had him share one of their multi-player rookie cards.
Oother rookies of note were Danny Ainge, later a pro with the Boston Celtics and World Series hero Kirk Gibson.

Baseball card collecting terms (part H-R)

High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the �50s-�70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.

Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.

O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.

Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.

Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.

Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.

Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
