1981 fleer star stickers

ldferg · September 2, 2006 9:15AM

does anyone have a scan of a 9 or 10? i just picked up a couple of boxes and the edge chipping is horrendous on these guys. centering is good for the most part but i didn't know if the chipping is normal for these. the dark blue borders make it very noticeable.

I have a Perez 9 pictured below. I have trouble with centering and color on this one as well.

ArnyVee · September 2, 2006 11:06PM

I had a tough time with a couple of boxes of these. The chipping was crazy and the centering was not all that good from my boxes. I do have a decent Schmidt & Carlton that have outside shots at 9s with a Ryan that would probably get an 8.

mcholke,
that perez looks nice. i'm hoping the few i submitted come back at least in 9s. i think i submitted a perez as well.

I just opened 3 boxes of wax. With 5 cards per pack, gum on the top and wax on the bottom, you're pretty much down to only 3 possibles per pack. Of the 3 boxes I have about 15 cards that have a shot at high grades. And for some reason 4 of them are Fergie Jenkins.

If anyone else collects these and has more scans, could you please post them? I want to see how lenient PSA is on centering, edge chipping and print spots.

Also, if you are working on a set and don't care about centering too much or wax stains, let me know. I've got a huge lot of cards you can have.

is there a monetary demand for them?

Well three boxes cost me like $20, so I'm going to say no.

It's not a bad set though. For the reasons I stated before it certainly seems like it would be a challenge in high grade. Lots of HOFers, relatively small set size, and the photos and printing are much better than the regular 1981 Fleer issue.

gameusedhoop · November 2, 2008 11:25PM

There are some 9s on ebay with BIN prices around $10.

Yeah I think if you're willing to put some time into searching through packs, 9's really aren't that tough to come by. 10's are going to be a challenge.

Edit: Thank you by the way. I didn't realize some of those had scans large enough to be helpful. I'll check them out more closely.

slantycouch · November 2, 2008 11:31PM

This one makes me feel a little better about what I've got. PD and chipped edges... seems like a pretty lenient 9.

DavidPuddy · November 2, 2008 11:37PM

Slanty,
how did your Ted Simmons and J.R. Richard's look?
I bought several boxes last year, but I'm still looking for these two for my player sets.

slantycouch · November 2, 2008 11:39PM

I'll let you know when I get home. They're yours if they're decent.

StopYurWhining · November 3, 2008 12:04AM

I just bought 4 boxes

Im waiting for them to come in this week; they only cost me $7 each.

AkbarClone · November 3, 2008 12:18AM

slantycouch,

While you are looking through your stickers for DavidPuddy, I could use the following stickers if your offer to help is for anyone:

13-Carl Yastrzemski
43-Rose/Bowa/Schmidt

I don't care too much about centering or slight stains--these are for some of my raw player collections. Thanks in advance if you can help any.

I don't quite remember collecting the stickers, but I did just purchase an 81 Fleer regular baseball set online, cheap. Back in the day it was my favorite set, although it's not well-regarded today. Brings back a lot of memories.

I'm pretty sure I can help you out with all of those! I'll shoot you a PM tonight.

slantycouch · November 3, 2008 9:32PM

I sent PM's to everyone looking for cards. Just shoot me your addresses and I'll get the cards I have out to you. James I think you'll be especially pleased.

StopYurWhining · November 3, 2008 10:25PM

I busted a box last night; but fell asleep before i could scan them lol. i got a lot of decent ones, but in every pack you get one card ruined by gum and the other ruined by wax lol

gameusedhoop · November 3, 2008 10:44PM

Is the wax on the front or the back of the card? If it is the front it should rub off with no problem, if it is the back I imagine there will still be a shiny residue.

slantycouch · November 3, 2008 10:58PM

Front card = gum on face
Back card = wax on back

StopYurWhining · November 4, 2008 12:03AM

on half the gummy cards i was able to take a Swiffer dust pad and get the gum off lol.

gameusedhoop · November 4, 2008 1:30AM

Just joking around but.....

Why the heck did they put gum in with the cards? Don't they know that may ruin them?

Once again, just joking around, I am 41 and remember when the gum was the selling point of the product. That's how I started, when I was 7 my dad worked a couple nites a week at a convience store and usually bought one pack of hockey cards for the gum while he was there. He would bring the cards home after I was in bed, leave for his "real" job before I woke up in the morning, and I would get the cards when I woke up. Just like the card fairy had come again!

I am building a set that is currently at 50% completion. If anyone has any PSA 9 or 10's that I do not have please let me know as I would be interested.

Thanks!

Thanks.

slantycouch · July 2, 2009 11:47PM

PM sent......thank you

Bought a few boxes of these. Hoping to sub a few of these on the Juy special. Anyone got a scan of any random PSA 10 from this set?

It appears PSA 9's are worthless but PSA 10's sell for adecent price. Andre Dawson PSA 10

gameusedhoop · July 8, 2009 6:36AM

From ebay....psasetguy, and his dirty scanner:

uyu906 · July 8, 2009 6:37AM

I need the following in NM+ RAW condition for my raw set. If anyone can help me out with these last three I need to complete this set, I would appreciate it!

60 Griffey,61 Hooton,89 Trammell

Thanks,
Rich

lsutigers1973 · July 8, 2009 6:47AM

Thanks for the scan. Was going to mention the seller but that card looks pretty sharp no matter who teh submitter was.

mcadams · July 9, 2009 2:59PM

ldferg- I've noticed chipping issues as well. I've seen a few raw version of the 119 Murphy card, but didn't buy them b/c of the chipping. If I remember correctly, the picture consistency also was not great (fuzzy photo on some). If anyone is preparing to sub and you have a promising version of #119, know that you'll have a buyer for a 9 or 10. Thx.
