1991 Fleer Baseball Forum

While entering my collection, I noticed the 1991 Fleer Team Stickers checklist on here is incomplete. I have one that's missing, and I'm hoping others with this set can confirm they have it too so it can be added.

1) San Diego Padres VAR - Previous logo (brown/orange)

2) Braves/Cubs/Reds/Astros VAR - Black/white MLB logo, Red Sox Leaders on back DISREGARD

3) Orioles/Red Sox/Royals/Brewers, Black/white MLB logo, Cubs Leaders on back DISREGARD

BigED, I'm working my way up thru the years, didn't get to 1991. If I have time, I will take a look. ~bob~

I'll take a look too as I'm helping Bob with these sets. Funny timing as I was working the 90 and 91 sets today for final clean-up. Thanks for pointing it out.

No problem, thanks! I know you guys have been working on those Fleer Sticker checklists and everything else seems to be OK besides some reordering and the 1982 nightmare. Just wanted to make sure these VARs were included.

UPDATE: While Googling to see why every sticker had a variation (different presses? factory set vs pack?), I found this and noticed none of the three I mentioned are shown here. Interesting...

Are you sure they weren't removed from their individual backs and stuck/glued onto new ones? Fleer Sticker Project, from my understanding, is a pretty solid resource. It seems odd that they wouldn't mention them.

Please don't take this as me doubting you. I don't have a horse in the race here, but that's the first thing I thought of when I read your last post.

This was also by first thought. I doubt the quads would get re-stuck imply because of how time-consuming it would be to change a sticker around (I mean, they are essentially penny items, why would anyone go that far to make a "new" penny?).

But, before we rush to add these newly-found sticker/back combos, can we please verify that their existence isn't a fluke (or a fake)? I think we all have many of these sitting around. I know I'm going to go look to see if I have any of these combos right now. I'll let you know either way.

You're not the only one.  I and a few others have mentioned this in other posts.  Removing and reapplying the sticker to different backs would not be impossible.  With all the ebay scammers out there, I wouldn't doubt it's been done.

Sorry, I'll check them again just to make sure.

UPDATE: It looks like the quads are "Frankenstickers" and the top logos were swapped on those two.

ATL/CHC/KC/MIL, B/W MLB, CHC Leaders
BAL/BOS/CIN/HOU, B/W MLB, BOS Leaders

 

Just to be clear, I wasn't rushing to add them to the checklist. Dan has nicely pointed out to me to verify existence from multiple sources before submitting the revised checklists (see the 87 discussion). I have my own stash I was going to dig into after this was pointed out and so was Bob. If Bob doesn't have them, I would question their existence ;) 

OK, I don't have a ton of these, and I did NOT find any that BigEd mentioned. However, I did find some of the other VARs mentioned in our listing. Stuff I wouldn't have noticed in 1991 as I was pulling stickers out of the packs and just stashing them away in a box.
