Random Wax: 1991 Fleer Baseball (4 Packs)

1991 Fleer:   Bo Jackson needs no introduction no matter where he goes.  When I think of him, I think about how much fun it was to watch him play whether it be in baseball, football or in commercials.
It is a gawdy set but one I really like.  Even if I have to wear sunglasses to properly enjoy it.  Really nice Mike Scioscia photo.
Who doesn't love Fleer's stickers and the backs?  Great large Red Sox logo sticker for me and on the back the all-time stat leaders in four categories.  Stats weren't that easily available back in the day so seeing things like this on cards was something I really love.
My Superstar Special pull.  We enjoy thinking of The Hawk as a Montreal Expo but the did play six season as a Cubbie.
I always liked Brett Butler and his speed as and the way Benito Santiago setup as a catcher when nobody was on base.
The backs are good with lots and lots of stats including the minor leagues and a headshot.
Really good Bert Blyleven photo.  He was born in Zeist, Nederlands and won two world championships with the '79 Pirates and the '87 Twins.
Fun pack of cards and so many good players including Luis Gonzalez who played his first full season with Houston in 1991.
BREAKDOWN:
60 – Total Cards
4 – Stickers
1 – Super Star Specials

  1. I like the Brett Butler card. Whenever I hear his name on the radio, I immediately think of him bunting.
