Clarification on '81 Fleer Stickers.

Each team should have 2 basic stickers , Helmet and logo [a couple of teams do not]. The Cowboys have 2 Helmets, the larger is considered the helmet, the smaller the logo.

This set is loaded with variations to include color variations. The interesting thing is usually color differences are not acceptable, however this set has a few. I've had discussions with Dan on these, each sticker has to be evaluated individually, ex. I had a Browns  helmet that Dan oked, some special color criteria. You have to ask him.

BTW: If you are not collecting stickers, I'd be interested in your whole haul. PM me. There are some I still need. I'm also involved in a local Sticker Trade Group.

Somewhat of a tangent...

All of the Fleer sets from 1976 to 1988 are listed under "Fleer Team Action" as the brand.  Seems like Fleer is the brand and "Team Action" is the set name.  Am I wrong?

That seems right. I figured fleer only did team action cards during that run because they did not have players under license to make cards of them. I have no idea if that's true though.

Yes sir, Fleer and Topps were in the middle of the "Candy War". With Fleer still not allowed to add gum and not have players under license they had to be creative with their card sets like Team Action and replace gum with stickers. THUS...the "Dawn of the Fleer sticker".
