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 B)

Bazooka Bazooka Bubble Gum put baseball cards on the back of their boxes from 1959 thru 1971. Complete boxes and panels can get extremely costly. Most kids back then could not afford complete boxes of bubble gum at one making Bazooka cards quite scarce. I actually don't recall ever obtaining a Bazooka card directly from a box as a kid. Do you ???

Black Sox Scandal Name given to the the most famous scandal in baseball history after the 1919 Chicago White Sox versus the Cincinatti Reds World Series when 8 White Sox players were accused of throwing the series.
