Fleer announced that they are cutting down the number of basketball products they put out
from 16 to 8.....does anyone believe this?? Can we get that in writing?? Im hoping that
they will bring back long favorites like Impact and Focus! Those were hot!
How about they cut from 16 to 2??
Does anyone here really like fleer??

Yes, I collect shiny modern crap
All your Shaq are belong to me
what else could a collector ask for??? I want a fleer product that has 18 game used per
box!! CAN I GET MORE CUTTINO MOBELY OR EDUARDO NAJARA JERSEY CARDS PLEASE???
Kevin
Fleer (Tradition)
Hoops (Bring it back!!! )
Fleer Premium
Fleer Showcase
Fleer Flair
Fleer Marquee
Fleer Hot Prospects
And introduce a product somewhere along the lines of Pristine/Ultimate Collection, but different enough to make things interesting.

arm and a leg and the supposed big three, have to cut corners and offer autos and like
stupid odds like 1:130???
hmmmm think about one??
Kevin
How come sage autos are worth less than others?? They are after all certified??
And what's so wrong about having a set of jersey cards where not everybody is a superstar? Diversity and accessiblity are the spice of life sometimes

really wanted among collectors??
Fleer is great at the following:
Care less customer service
Dead end redemptions
Calling a guy a rookie 5 years after he had his first card!
GU'ed jersey cards with a swatch 1 cm square!
no imagination
did I mention the customer service?
Someone name a fleer card in their collection that would really impress me?
Kevin
MY AUCTIONS!
My Scan Page
money..heck I think they even put autos on there too! Remember those stupid
super bowl programs they were inserting?? Yeah, stick a 1999 super bowl program in it
and charge 200 for the box! LOL
Anyone remember 2000 fleer greats of the game baseball??? That was the last good product
fleer had, some 3 years ago!
Kevin
to deals...Jeter and Bonds....Compare how many autos of those guys they put out compared
to how many UD puts out of Ichiro, Mac and Sosa and you see which company is cheaper!!
Im not here to praise topps and UD, but I get sick of the bizzion crappy products that fleer
puts out every year...I mean jesus...Basketball isn't even over yet and look at all the crap
fleer has already put out:
Flair
Authentix (decent)
Box Score
Genuine
Hot Shots.....so hot it winds up at the KB outlets for 20 bucks a box!
Premium...whats so premium about a 15 dollar GU'ed Vince jersey card??
Showcase
Tradition....arrows going down!
HoopsHot Prospect....(see Hot shots)
Hoops Stars....what is this??
Ultra...ummmm rookie exchange cards!! After shipping and insurance you actully lose money!
Thats 11 and they are not done yet! I count maybe one decent product in the whole bunch!
I can't wait for the so called cut so when I go to look something up in the beckett I don't have
to flip through 10 pages of fleer garbage!

2001 Fleer Genuine baseball was a good product. Had #'d rookies, game used patches, and autographs (Names of the Game).
want collectors to have again! thats what Im talking about!
Im still not impressed by low numbered parallels. Even stuff numbered of 10 or 5 today really
isn't great. As far as Jeter, fleer does put out some nice autos of him, but usually only a
total of like 95 of them across a product. I doubt you pulled them from packs!
Anyone ever wonder why fleer phased out their best product ever...greats of the game???? Ill
tell you why...becuase it cost them too much...so they went with a product with a bunch
of jerseys in it!! I find that insulting!

looking for good football gu and autos- especially rams- thanks
1) They produce good cards for ppl who collect because its fun and enjoyable...its not a $160 dissapointment when you buy a pack and get a mid priced jersey...(unlike ultimate) its a $5 loss at most which is actually an average of a $10 gain in BV for each jersey
2) They dont put out autos in every brand they make...which does suck but the ones they do are like 1:150 for hot prospects or 1:500 for authentix...but look at the pirce...when you figure in the odds for each company...i think that fleer got them beat when you can buy a Hot prospects box...get 4 garunteed GU +1 RC patch garunteed in a box and have a decent shot at an auto too..i agree that autographics needs to come back...but Fleer is basically know as "home of the GU" and thats their traemark
What I like is that fleer has testominials from ppl on their site about boxes...packs...and how it brought JOY to people to open...isnt that what its about???....most of the post on there are from younger kids or parents who open boxes with their kids.....those cheap boxes at kmart and toys r us are the reason why some of those kids can write their story up there...cuz its not Expensive...alot of it is geared toward affordability.....the make a product more accessable with great results for the price.....ever see UD boxes for $9.99 with more than 8 packs that arent MVP or basic SERIES 1&2????....yes cutting back is necessary but I think that they are pleasing more than they are making upset
We never bought any boxes of Fleer product,just packs mainly.They never had anything that stood out,really.The card designs were never anything special & the few times I did have to contact them,they had a who cares attitude.
Some of the baseball & football product they put out was pretty good but there is so much nicer stuff out there at the same or lower price, we usually end up passing on Fleers stuff.Hopefully, they'll survive but they really need to step up with quality & customer service if they have any chance of doing so.
