1986 Fleer

Description

1986 Fleer is a 660-card set -- the sixth consecutive year at that size. '86 Fleer is notable for containing the first modern "insert" cards: All-Stars and Future Hall of Famers.

Card fronts feature dark blue borders (resulting in extremely condition sensitive cards commonly found with chipped edges), a team logo along with the player's name and position. The player cards are alphabetized within team and the teams are ordered by their 1985 season finish and won-lost record -- with the World Series champion Royals, first.

Subsets include SuperStar Specials (626-643) and Major League Prospects (644-653). The set includes the Rookie Cards of Rick Aguilera, Jose Canseco, Darren Daulton, Len Dykstra, Cecil Fielder, Andres Galarraga and Paul O'Neill.

Distribution

Wax: 36 packs per box, 15 cards plus one team logo sticker per pack.

Inserts

All-Stars

This 12-card set was exclusive to wax and cello packs. The six American Leaguers have a red background, while the National Leaguers are blue.

Future Hall of Famers

One card from this six-card set was seeded into each rack pack. All, except card #1 (for obvious reasons) were eventually elected to the Hall of Fame.

Wax Box Cards

Four "cards" from this eight "card" set were printed on the bottom of each wax and cello box. Cards #C1-#C4 are one half the boxes, #C5-#C8 are on the other half.

Team Stickers

For the fifth consecutive year, each pack of 1986 Fleer Baseball contained one team logo sticker. Each team has two stickers: Pennant and Team Logo.

The reverse side features reprints of the 1972 Fleer Famous Feats set. Whereas the original 1972 stickers were slightly oversized (2 1/2" X 4") the '86s are standard-sized. Also, the 1986's are black/yellow monochrome.
