1987 Fleer Team Action Football Forum

Greetings,

I was browsing ebay and I saw a seller with three 1987 NY Giants helmet stickers with "all three back variations".  There are only two listed on this site (Soft Gum & Razzles).  According to this ebay seller, there is also a Dubble Bubble back.  I attached photos from the auction.  Link to auction:

Thoughts?

I am only somewhat familiar with these stickers, but is there a possibility that the third one is actually from a different year?

New helmet design and blue border is 1987. My guess is the db is missing a bunch of variations.

Like I said, limited knowledge. All I knew is that some variations existed and I added what was told to me. I have now added the 3rd Giants Helmet sticker.

Thanks for the replies. It's definitely from 1987, because the only other year that candy ads appear on the back is 1986, and those ads are printed in Red ink.

For what it's worth, the three NY Giants helmet variants are present in the 1986 database on this site. The variations are exactly the same between 1986 and 1987, based off the database here.

Haven't been able to confirm on COMC, but if 1986 and 1987 had the same backs assigned each year, we could potentially be missing the following based on our site checklists:

1986 Fleer
New England Patriots Logo - Razzles ad back

1987 Fleer
Cleveland Browns Helmet - Razzles ad back
Detroit Lions Logo - Dubble Bubble ad back
Kansas City Chiefs Logo - Dubble Bubble ad back

1986 currently has 66 entries, which would be half of a typical sheet. 1987 currently has 64 entries, so we could be missing two.
