Ever since I decided to try to complete most of the 1980s Fleer baseball sets, I have been swimming in 1980s Fleer. The 1984 Fleer set is complete. The 1981 Fleer set is about a dozen or so cards short. Meanwhile I am still attempting to dig out of huge boxes of cards sent to me by both ARPSmith's Sportscard Obsession and Johnny's Trading Spot that each contain copious amounts of Fleer, mostly '83, '85 and '86 with a little '82 sprinkled in there. That brings me to '88 Fleer. Recently, a reader answered my plea for the last few 1988 Fleer cards that I need by sending me two of them. Thank you very much James. I never like it when players who competed for the Giants -- as both of these guys did -- end up as the final card. However, sadly, I'm still lacking that final card. What might be that final card, you ask? Nolan Ryan? Bo Jackson? Rookies Mark Grace or John Smoltz? No. It's none of those. It's some dude named Jay Aldr...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
