Completely Red: 1981 Fleer Star Stickers

In 1981, as we all know, the Topps monopoly was stricken asunder, thus birthing Fleer as a major card producer. Joining their lackluster 1981 base set were these much cooler Star Sticker cards, which were sold in packs of five. Of the 128 cards in the checklist, the Reds got 6 of em, a full card better than the average per team. And all six in the set are fantastic, each being a member of the Reds Hall of Fame.

For the curious, the backs are identical to the base set, save for using blue ink instead of yellow.

STATS:

Cards - 6

RC's - 0

All Stars - 5 (Bench, Foster, Seaver, Griffey, Concepcion)

Hall of Famers - 2 (Bench, Seaver)

Reds Hall of Famers - 6 (Driessen, Bench, Foster, Seaver, Griffey, Concepcion)

Peelage - 0%

Blur - 100%


Checklist:

22 Dan Driessen
37 Johnny Bench
41 George Foster
49 Tom Seaver
60 Ken Griffey
101 Dave Concepcion

Go Reds
