I like both designs and definitely don't have a problem with that yellow. In this age where many base cards are a whole lot of hohum, I'll take '91 Fleer boldness any day.

Take away the large amount of solid color (which is the main eyesore) and you have some pretty amazing photography. For me it's the shade of yellow - no one complains as much regarding the blue border of 1986 Fleer. Perhaps they could have toned down the color and added a slight texture.

Yes, that was a consideration. I tried a subtler yellow that recalled aged paper, (and I think there are some versions out there that are white backgrounds?) but the 90s eschewed vintage and were all about obnoxious colors.

91 fleer has a special place in my heart as I collected almost the whole set from the wawa down the street from our beach house that we used to go to every summer. It was the last year we went to that house so there were a lot of memories and it seems to have culminated into the 91 fleer set. LOL
But here's a version my buddy did in black.

That looks similar to 93 Pinnacle which is one of my favorite sets of the 90s.

That's sharp looking in black.

I really like the charcoal/black borders and the all star and provisions I always liked. I guess I am not a fan of the yellow.

Prefer the black, but it looks like Fleer did something similar to the Mattingly when they produced the Clemens inserts the following year in 1992:

Changing the lettering really helps the crazy of the yellow.
