Card: #134 Mike Sweeney
“ Is that an Excel spreadsheet on the back? ” -ketchupman36
“ Nice throwback design, and good scan...too bad about the water damage, I've had several cards get pretty much destroyed by flooding. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ I am a fan of all the throwback issues....Heritage, Archives, and Originals.....so why not go along with these...for nostalgia sake (I can get away with this as a kid of the 80s). I only wish the card insignia was a little smaller....too big and totally clashed with the rest of the card....could have done something smaller and merged it in with the top right corner and I think that would be better. But still....all hail the 80s! ” -tbshaw
“ The chart of the back is different and cool. ” -carthage44
“ I like this design, though it almost reminds me of an unlicensed basement-issue mash-up of 81 and 87 Fleer. You'd do well to pitch out every time Sweeney comes up. His average was 50pts worse when ahead in the count versus first pitches. ” -dilemma19
“ I really do like the effort here by Fleer to do an "Archives" type set, however they combine 2 different years (81 on the front and 87 on the back) so it loses some appeal. ” -rmpaq5
“ Nothing platinum about this card. ” -NJDevils
“ Doing that retro to overproduced years thing. Using the 1981 style as a guideline. Not sure if I like the bar graph on the back or not. Its different but doesn't say "trading card" to me it says "stock market". ” -captkirk42
“ Front looks like 1981 Fleer. Back looks like 1987 Fleer. I'm OK with this set. ” -switzr1
