Well, this thread made me look at my 1981 Fleer cards for the first time in many years. No Stoddard error in my cards, so no King's Ransom for me. I remember when these cards came out I was searching...

Andrew, I enjoyed your story about the sack of cards, but was sad to hear you didn't get them back. I have a similar story that happened to me in probably the same year, about 1974 when I was in high...

It is true that it was optional to get the Topps stamp put on the items from the original auction. I won a couple of lots and chose not to get the stamp put on the back, mainly because I was worried...

There is also a related set of movie star cards that were issued in the same way as the baseball cards, in 13-card accordion strips.

I had a few minutes, so I went through a box of about 1000 Fleer 1987 regular cards. I didn't find any brown ones until the last card, #660. I found another #660 and it is also brown. I don't think...

2nd Series Fleer 1961 Greats were issued in 1961, not 1962. I wrote an article for SCD proving that a long time ago, I guess they've forgotten.
