The Struggle Is Real - 1991 Fleer

[ALR-bishop]

Hey Mark-- in addition to doing a Topps and Bowman run, also did a Fleer run, 1923 and then 1959 to 2007. For 1991 still looking for the variations to cards 105/125/327/610/662/666. All involve backs but are true variations

Reminds me of WAY back in the day, pre internet, I was for some unknown reason trying to put together a set of 1992 Score and no matter how many boxes and packs I opened I could not for the life of my find a Bob Zupcic to finish the set. None of the card shops had one either; being in Boston whatever they had sold quickly.

Being one of many, I guess, who got back into the hobby in the late '80's and enjoyed the heck out of it I shook my head when I read your post and mumbled to myself "ah the yellow cards".

Have 413 of them hanging around, and one copy each of the three you came up short on. Centering is not the best (pretty common in those days), but other than that they're in great shape.

PM me an address to send them to and I'll get them off to you tomorrow, unless this coastal storm makes it not fit for man nor beast outside - then it would have to be Monday.

Nice gesture Mr Pinson

Al: There is also a variation on the Rick Aguilera 602 card

Most of what we had in COMC had 5 lines in text, I saw one, which has been sold, with 4 lines of text on the back. So you can add that one unless you already have that one

As mentioned above, every card in the set has a variation. Some, like Aguilera, Ready, Karkovice, Azocar, Guerrero are more obvious. Mike Greenwell and Kevin Miller have interesting variations in the stats extending out of the stat area. Lots of photo cropping variations (Alex Fernandez, Dave Hansen) and several that have different arrangements of stat/year groupings separated by horizontal lines.

The BB Card hobby was so 'hot" in 1991 that for all these companies multiple printing presses were used to produce cards. Needless to say, I'm convinced that helped "cause" these fascinating variations in these sets and IIRC -- there are some interesting Score variations circa 1991 or 1992.

For you 1991 Fleer Experts, we got a note about a variation in the Edgar Martinez from this set but I could not tell the difference as it appeared to be too subtle. If anyone could help me with this one, I'll add it to the COMC Data base.,
