FLEER STICKER SETS Update
FYI: I have been updating these sets going on 2 years. They were a mess and still are, but getting better. The key is proper formatting and consistency. Thanks to Dan’s approval and jimetal’s assistance The Baseball Sets are slowly taking shape.
The following formatting is in use:
- If a set is numbered follow the numbering format [ex. 1986]
- If a set is unnumbered, ALPHABETIZE by CITY or STATE [ex. Atlanta, Boston etc.]
- If a set has single stickers and either dual or quad stickers [a] They are listed as 1 set. [b] Both dual and quad stickers are also alphabetized by CITY or STATE.
- Many sticker sets have unnumbered but unique backs. These backs should be listed as NNO and either in alphabetical or chronological order depending on the sets. NOTE: My experience of years of sticker set collecting, that collectors collect the backs as well as the fronts as independent sets.. Where applicabable these “back sets” should be listed as separate sets as if the stickers were peeled off [as in the 1986 set.] Puzzle backs will not be listed as a separate set, but the pieces will be identified in the NOTE 1 and 2 [ex. 1982]
** We would appreciate allowing us to get these sets “unmessed” up. IRs should be run by us before submitting. Hopefully this will eliminate double work.
*** ALL sets will eventually need updating; Baseball thru All Sports and Non-Sports
We thank you ~BOB~

Thanks, jimetal,
You are making so much progress, more than I could of. It's giving me time to try and fix the "tricky" 1982 Fleer Sticker Set.
Hopefully, when all is said and done, more members might start collecting these Pioneers of the Gum and Candy Battles of Yesteryear.
Thanks everybody, ~Bob~

Patrick

~ Patrick Please Please Please read my profile before making a trade proposal. My "wants" for my Cardinals collection is accurate from 1900 - 2008. I still have about 12,000Plus Cardinals cards from 2009-present to sort through and enter. Please do not offer any Cardinals cards from 2008-present unless you contact me first as there is a chance I already have it amongst the multitude to still go through. I still have about 30K Cardinals duplicates that are not yet entered in the database as FS/FT. "For the love of the game"

Patrick, we already have taken on the Topps stickers. Please look at them before making comments like that. There are several people on here who have put in hours of work on them. Not fair of you to claim that they need to be taken on. They have.

My appologies - I appreciate everyones effort and hard to work to keep this database updated and clean. I did not realize this set had been up completed and thought it was a work in progress and still needs to be taken on. My main collection is a team set and I know the challenges with organizing and keeping up with one team and cant imagine dealing with a whole set. Kudos to those that have made this happen!

1982 Update:
The checklist is a work in progress. Lost it 3 times. ehhh!
I did upload a picture of the completed puzzle for reference. I sent in an IR , I wasn't sure it was located correctly.
Meanwhile, I've been working on backs.
Thanks Jim, Dan, There might even be some light at the end of the tunnel for baseball stickers.
