1982 Fleer Baseball
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.

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. |

sets, Donruss hit a huge HOME RUN with their 1984 issue !!!
The card design was beautiful and the card stock was significantly
improved.

TOP ROOKIES: Although neither made the Hall, Don Mattingly and Darryl Strawberry had huge impacts thru their careers. Hall-of-Famer Joe Carter was the only rookie from this crop to make the Hall. Diamond Kings continued to attract collectors and the set also featured a multi-player Short Print card of Carl Yastrzemski & Johnny Bench. Note: You may be on that page right now. |
Series are groups of cards in an issue released together. Example: Series #1 (cards #1-100) are released in April; Series #2 (#101-200) released in July; and so on. This allowed kids to easier complete sets. A side-effect was the creation of scarce "High Numbers".
Short Print (SP) is a card printed in lesser quantity than other cards in the set. Recent short prints are often serially-numbered.
Team Set is a group of all the cards of players for a certain team.
Test Issue is a small printing by a card company to see if products are of interest to collectors. Some of Topps neatest items are "Test Issues" like 1956 Topps Pins & 1974 Topps Puzzles.
Tobacco Card is typically from the early 1900's and were issued with tobacco products, the most famous of which is the T-206 Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set is a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card is a card reduced in size mostly to hide damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards have very little value compared to the un-trimmed version. In some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands. The most famous 'trimmed' card is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large before it was trimmed down to size.
Unauthorized Issue is a card release which is not licensed by the league, player's association or player.
Variation is a card printed by the manufacturer that differs in some way from the normal card.
Wax Pack is a generic term for a pack of cards. The "wax" came from a time when packs were sealed in wax paper wrappers. Today it is still used for packs even though they no longer use wax paper.
