Finest Fleer 1996-2000

Here we go again. More years, more Fleer. Their design quality started to really fall off in these five years. I did like the feel of the Tradition cards later on, but still fairly simple.


If anyone has this card, I'm open to a trade.
1996 Luis Sojo
The hero for the Mariners in the one game playoff with the Angels to get to the Yankees.


1996 Update Sterling Hitchcock
Could it be that Alfred's grandson pitches for the Mariners? He should be with "The Birds."


If anyone has this card, I'm open to a trade.
1997 Update Raul Ibanez
Yes, he actually started as a catcher. I don't know about Philly, but we spell his name with eight U's.



1997 Update Jeff Fassero
It's always cool to see a card with a pitcher batting. Especially with the double flap helmet.


If anyone has this card, I'm open to a trade.
1998 Tradition Heathcliff Slocumb
OK, we see you can jump, but can you pitch. I guess not, thanks alot Red Sox. This trade still haunts me.


If anyone has this card, I'm open to a trade.
1998 Tradition Update Carlos Guillen
One of the pieces in the Randy Johnson deal. Thanks front office for thinking Randy's back was shot.


If anyone has this card, I'm open to a trade.
1999 Tradition Carlos Guillen
Fleer, you're getting lazy. That looks like the next picture in the sequence from the last card...


1999 Tradition Update Damaso Marte
Sitting on top of the bench, tennis shoes not spikes, but has his glove on. I can't figure out if he's ready to pitch or go home.


If anyone has this card, I'm open to a trade.
2000 Tradition Jose Mesa
Hey Joe Table, how old are you really? Or do you even know for sure??


If anyone has this card, I'm open to a trade.
2000 Tradition Update Kevin Hodges
Nine years in the minors, 7 games in the Majors, then off to Japan. But some how you get a card, Fleer must have just needed fill the set I guess.

There it is for this time. We only have seven more years of Fleer to look at, before they would become like Donruss and ride off into the baseball card sunset.
