1981 Fleer Baseball

mmync

Because of this set being so unpopular, there isn't very much info out there regarding the actual rarity of some of the error cards. I've searched eBay, vcp, and the pop report, but there are so few cards from this set being graded or sold sold on eBay, that it's hard to be able to tell if some of the different error cards are scarce, the cards from the set are hard to find in mint condition, or if it's that the cards are so common in mint condition, nobody even bothers getting them graded. I feel that I may have some pretty nice examples of most all of them and just wanted to get an idea of which ones may be worth grading.

What was up with the fingers?

I bought a complete error set recently...has all of the finger cards. Its just a print defect from the factory that looks like a pointing finger.

So are there any of the cards in the set really scarce or no? If so, fell free to share a couple.

IMO none of the error cards are extremely tough. Nothing is like the '82 Littlefield reverse negative as far as being a low percentage of the press run. I would guess that there's nothing at less than circa 20% of the total press run.

Wasn't the Craig Graig Nettles error in demand for a while? It may have been only a short while.

Any collection manager worth his salt should have no trouble answering this question. I recommend you start searching for a new one.

As usual Nick is right on, the 81 Fleer errors were once claimed to be scarce , and they are not half the print run but are not hard to find and could be had for $1 or less for most. The 82 Littlefield is actually much more challenging to find. 81's are still available in large quantity unopened So this supply will not end soon.

If I have these, they can't possibly be that rare. As mentioned, the littlefield and probably the Frank Thomas NNOF (1991) I believe, are the rarest.
