1988 Fleer

In 1988 Fleer began their journey into spectacularly mediocre cards. For the first of many years to come their cards bore a strong resemblance to those over produced 44 card box sets that would flood the hobby. There's nothing much special about these.

Save for Nate Snell. Chalk that up as another "he played for the Tigers?" entry. I don't see that he was ever featured again on a Tigers card. A quick check of retrosheet shows that this was the end of the line for ol' Nater. Thanks for the memories.

654 Team Checklist

There were a couple of goofy pastel spearmint candy cane looking All-Star insert cards:

1 Matt Nokes

9 Alan Trammell

The Update set gave us a couple more cards than the Topps Traded set did, but they weren't much to sneeze at. The 1986 World Series MVP was easily the best of the bunch.
