Year: 1984

Set: Fleer (Rate)

Card: #288 Chris Speier


“ Good design. I always liked Fleer. He physically resembles one of my local card dealers. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ This was always my favorite of the early Fleer baseball designs. ” -UKboogie

“ The pitch is a little high. I love this set, always have, and was thrilled to finally get the update set to this one a little while back for a decent price. Looks GREAT in a binder! ” -vrooomed

“ That camera angle makes it look like he's trying to hit a looping, underhand slo-pitch. Wow! Over 1700 games of big league experience, and looks like he could be waiting tables at Olive Garden. Maybe he plays slo-pitch when not serving pasta... Supplementary "did you know": Drove in 8 runs in a single game in 1982. Drove in 26 runs in 113 games in 1979. ” -dilemma19

“ Cool Pre-Junk (or beginning of Junk) Fleer. Odd that this is now part of DC Baseball History yet wasn't back then. :) ” -captkirk42

“ That's fun photography. ” -wax_house

“ Solid and gets the job done. Typical of 80's cards. Love it! ” -carthage44

“ He can't seriously be thinking about swinging at that pitch, even if it is BP. ” -NJDevils

“ SWEET card! Looks like he is going to be way late on that swing. Must be taking. :) ” -RoyalChief

“ LOL. Great pic. "Hey, where'd the ball go?" "It's stuck to your bat. Now quit using so much pine tar!" One of Fleer's better early designs. Nice and simple. ” -C2Cigars

I miss the Expos and I hate how the Nationals selectively pick what parts of the Expos history they'lll acknowledge.

Maybe it is just me but it doesn't look like he is even looking at the ball. Seems like he is looking to the left of it. Did they take the picture and add the ball after? Nice, simple design on these cards.
