1982 was a big year for Fleer baseball cards with the
introduction of their long running DIAMOND KINGS subset.
The artwork of Dick Perez was featured in all it's glory !
The Diamond Kings became so popular they went from a subset to
an insert set to scarce autographed inserts to eventually their
very own set.

1982 Fleer Baseball Checklist, Values & Info
Also having a huge impact on this set was the appearance of one of baseballs all-time greats, the Orioles Cal Ripken. Note: You may be on that page right now. |
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
