Card: #545 Mike Jeffcoat

“ Solid mid-80s design. I like it! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ And that's a name? ” -DarkSide830

“ Too much sun for pale Mike. ” -carthage44

“ Now that right there is what you call a basic baseball card. Which means it is absolutely perfect!! ” -RoyalChief

“ Boring design, just maybe a little better than the Donruss set that year, but neither is as nice as the Topps set from '86. The guy looks a bit sunburned. ” -Doc Floyd

“ Nice mid 1980s Fleer. Back before the dreaded gimmicks on base cards that still continue to this day. ” -captkirk42

“ This was one of those forgettable sets from the junk wax era that I can never remember what year it is without looking at the back. Speaking of which the backs were horrible to read back then and with worsening eyesight are almost impossible to read now and I don't think it is from a bad scan. ” -wjsenke

“ Decent basic design. The pose though is pretty much exactly like my 6 year old's team photo day photo this year. ” -rmpaq5

“ The back design was so great, Fleer recycled it in 1989. ” -dilemma19

Ha! He's now the head coach of a small Texas university baseball team where I previously worked as a librarian. ------------------------------- Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.

I love this design. I've always liked the Fleer backs when they had the full stats like that. Especially when they would also have the minor league stats..
