[[1986 Fleer League Leaders]] is a 44-card boxed set produced for, and exclusively distributed by, Walgreen's drug stores. As the title suggests, the set features leaders in various statistical categories.
  
In addition, 10 variations (seeded at a stated rate of one in 20) were also included in this set.

The boxed set does include a rookie year Jose Canseco card -- although it's curious as to why he was included as a "League Leader."
