1991 Fleer Baseball Forum

First off, sincere apologies to Pingboy333, as he sent me the jumbo pack set in February of 2019, and I'm finally getting around to this now - 19 months later! Also, thank you to Pingboy333 for sending me the set. It has been sitting with other complete sets, just hanging out. In other words, it's been as well protected as all my other sets.

So, why am I writing another e-mail about another over-production era set?

As has been noted on a few cards, there were some differences between printings of the 1991 Fleer set. It appears that the wax/cello pack cards were printed in one facility while the jumbo pack cards were printed at another - and there were differences on many of the cards (some reports say most, some even say all cards have some sort of difference).

I already had a set I collated (or got from someone who collated it) from wax/cello packs. Now I also have the set collated from jumbo packs. After comparing the first 2 cards in the set, I have found that both cards had differences - noticable differences.

Rather than rely on memory to guide me later on to add images, I am adding the scans along with the new listings immediately. This is going to make the process of adding all of the variations a very long one (hopefully not 19 months worth).

This is to serve as notice to the pending changes. Again, it could affect most of the set. And I ask everyone to have patience with me as I visually compare 1,440 cards total. Thank you.

Question. Why not do something like we did for the 89 and 90 Donruss sheets. Create a Google spreadsheet and let everyone help contribute. Would also allow for the Note2 info to be sorted out. Just a thought, you know best.... 

Does anyone else have jumbo pack-collated set?

The other angle is whether there is a FS difference also hence the suggestion. Heck, probably should have said that from the get-go. I am hoping there are other jumbo set builds out there so you dont have to go at it alone

I'm assuming the factory set (which I have) is the same as the wax/cellos?

As we learned with 90 Donruss we can't make that assumption unfortunately

Also did you receive stickers from those jumbo packs? It might help explain the differences on all of those as well. All 40 have VARs, with the quads having both black/white logos and color logos and the mini logos showing some of the same differences as the larger logos in terms of trademarks, color/detail differences, white space, etc. Unfortunately I don't remember which stickers of mine were from the factory set.

Please, this is base set only, no stickers, no anything else.

Check the FS cards you have versus the cards that are the "a" versions (or the only versions) listed here. If they look like the "a"s, then they are like the wax/cellos. I am not that collector who got FSs and HC sets. I got one or the other. I have a HC from wax/cellos. I was sent the jumbos set by another member here.

I have a FS (broken open when I got it). I'll try to get through some of it tonight

I have a box of unopened 1991 Fleer Jumbo packs. Wasn't sure what I was doing with them yet. To add more misery I have a monster of unsorted cards and 2 complete sets. 

Just to very Jumbo packs, How many cards were in a jumbo?
