1983 Fleer Stamps Baseball Forum

Since these were issued in 4 groups, should the complete panels be listed as a separate/related subset similar to how vintage Hostess cards are listed as individual cards and in their original palen format?

I was just coming here to ask about listing the complete panels. 

Admin?

Probably, but I don't think the system supports the number of names that would need to be linked for each single sheet.

Since they are actually labeled with a "Group x of 4", I have added a set for people to be able to track collections.

https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/374969

If someone is adventurous, the names can be linked to each group, but the name field would never be able to support the names being added, so the best we can do is "Group x of 4" as the names. Same with the teams, although I would suspect each group would have all 26 teams of the day. Please be sure that if you do start linking players, you link everyone in that group, not just the player(s) you collect. Thanks.

Additionally, it looks like there were 18 rows of these same stamps issued. I have added a set to track those as well.

Due to the absurd dimensions of these, I don't expect we'll ever have scans loaded, and please do not upload photos.

I had tried to add the name/team info to the trivia section at one time but it did not get approved. Here is an example of what I have already typed out for the first 2 groups:

Group 1-Column 1 / Strip 1: Header; Who was NL rookie of the year in 1976? – Pat Zachry; Who was starting NL shortstop in 1973 All-Star Game? – Chris Speier; What third sackers won 1982 MVPs, and led teams to 1980 World Series? – Mike Schmidt and George Brett; Who set M L record by winning Cy Young Award in both leagues? – Gaylord Perry; poster offer; John Montefusco; What two former Texas Rangers hit back-to-back, inside-the-park homers? – Toby Harrah and Bump Wills; What former first-round draft pick made the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981? – Ron Roenicke; Dodgers logo; Athletics logo; Who was the leading vote-getter for 1980 All-Star Team? – Davey Lopes; Who was the only Padre to get a hit in 1982 All-Star Game? – Ruppert Jones; Who was second in RBIs among all NL shortstops in 1982? – Dale Berra; Angels logo; Cardinals logo; Who led the Giants in homers and RBIs in 1982? – Jack Clark; What pitcher led the Mets in 1982 victories? – Craig Swan

Dan - there were only 16 strips - I submitted an IR to change it.

I also went ahead and added the name links to the 1st strip based on the work I had already done. Should the team links be added as well (for the players and the logos)?

I have the info for the first 2 groups (and 8 strips) ready to go and would be happy to take this on but will need some time for the other half as well as getting the team links together.

Oops! I read the text on the strip that said 18 stickers and 16 rows and transposed them in my head when I created the set and checklist. I have fixed the names, the Total cards, and put in the IRs needed to remove 17 & 18 (just waiting on L8 approvals).

Sorry about that!

Feel free to take the linking tasks on - thanks! Yes, teams should be linked as well.

As for the trivia, only Admin has the ability to accept or reject trivia.

Just saw that my original attempt for the Group 1 info was posted in comments in November last year - I just added the info for Group 2 under comments - all stamps including questions in the order they appear. I will finish up the Group 3 and 4 ones later today (hopefully).

Player links have been added to all 16 strips and team links to the first 8 for now - will complete the other 8 later. The sheets will take a little more time as there are 56 player links to create for each sheet and likely all 26 teams for each sheet.

I appreciate the work you're putting into this set.

Update: all player and team links have been done for the strips and groups. Surprisingly, not all teams appear on all of the groups. Two of them are missing one team each, so only 25 on groups 1 & 2.

What about the poster offer stamp and the header stamps? Should they be added somewhere?

For the scans for the strips and groups, could we do scans of just the headers so there is at least something there?
