    That set is underrated. I have a uncut sheet of it and it takes up way more space then a ten cent box set.

    The 1981 Fleer Star Sticker set is tough to assemble in high grade. Attached is a link to my set below. I would be interested in PSA 9/10 for any that I don't have.

    Thanks

    I'm glad someone else likes the Star Stickers. Tons of HOFers, a nice design, and the best photos of any 81 set.

    Weird - small world. I just ordered a few wax boxes of 1981 Fleer Stickers because they're cheap and I thought they'd be fun to rip. I'll let you know what I get...

    I absolutely love the 1981 Fleer Stickers set. I think it is undervalued and under appreciated.

    Even though there are gobs of them out there, I love the look of the 1988 Donruss Baseball's Best with the orange borders. Those cards have tremendous eye appeal. Too bad that ain't worth a dime except maybe in a PSA 10 holder.

    That's a cool series. I believe I quit card collecting in 81 or 82, but I do remember buying some of those back then. Good luck on your collection.

    87 Fleer stickers were just as awesome. I covered an entire wall in my bedroom with those stickers. By that time I was old enough to know the value of condition on cards. Why did I do that?

    They have the same value stuck to your wall as they do now

    PSA 10's of 87 stickers sell for like $15. I could retire or something.

    I know they only go for about $4 a box but I like the 1988 Topps Big set.

    1987 Topps American / UK Football. There are plenty of stars in this set. It's a small 88 card set that isn’t to expensive but the market is not flooded with them either.

    how much do 81' fleer sticker boxes go for?
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    None

    The only underrated sets from the 80's IMO are the regionals and food issues.

    Dormans cheese comes to mind.

    Good for you.

    I always loved the 1987 Topps Toys R Us Rookies set.

    If even half of those guys turned out the way everyone thought they would back then, there's no doubt that set would be worth hundreds of dollars. Very condition sensitive too, with the black borders.

    I am working on a set of the 1981 Fleer Star Stickers Set and would love to complete it by the end of this year. Would anyone happen to have a NM or better raw #'s 60,61,89 to trade or sell?

    Thanks - any help would be appreciated!

    I opened two boxes of 81 Fleer SS a year or two ago. They cost about $10 or $15 each. Might have been two for $25? Anyway, I sent in about a dozen cards for grading and got two 9's, several 8's, a 7 and a 5. Point is, out of two entire boxes I got two 9's. They were popular, and rare, in 1981 which is why I bought them now. However, they are tough for grading purposes.

    Man, those 1981 Fleer Star Stickers are about a thousand times better looking than the regular issue that year. Could be a fun box to crack on a rainy day.

    I can remember getting a Robin Yount card from the innermost depths of a double-wide box of Jay's (not Lay's) Potato Chips. I thought it was really great at the time. I was six.
