Archives Project: 1981 Fleer
Written by Steve on July 3rd, 2009Now that I’ve archived all of my Topps cards, it’s time for the last phase of my Archives project. This phase is gonna take quite awhile to complete. I have about 5,000 non-Topps cards dating from 1981 to 1994. I’m going to go ahead and integrate these into my collection as well, rather than let them sit and pretend they don’t exist.
I admit, back in 1992 I knew Topps as the company that made the cheap ugly cards that weren’t worth anything. There were so many other brands by then that looked so much more appealing than Topps. Upper Deck was the brand to buy in 1992, but there was also Donruss, Fleer, Bowman, Pinnacle, Stadium Club, Fleer Ultra, Studio, Leaf… Topps was probably the least appealing out of all the brands to buy.
It will probably take a few months, but I’m going to integrate all of these non-Topps cards into my main collection and show off some of the best ones, starting with 1981 Fleer:
