| 495.1 | Good deal on the inserts | FUTURE::JST_ONGE | John St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715 | Wed Jan 13 1993 00:15 | 17 |
| Through a dealer in SCD I ordered the following Fleer Insert sets:
Golden Moments
Major League Prospects
Tom Glavine
All-Stars
Pro Visions
for a whopping
32$ !
I also ordered two regular sets (series I) for 15$. All total plus
shipping 67$. I figured I would've probably bought at least 3 wax
boxes and several singles so I probably made out this way.

| Bought a box of these this weekend, price was $25. I got 92% of the
first series, 2 Glavine's (Both were #1!), 4 Rookie Prospects (of 18
in the subset, and 2 of one card!), 3 NL AS's (again got 2 of 1 card!)
and 1 Pro Vision.
I personally think it is a very nice set.....and of course I have a
wantlist if anyone would like trade.

| I opened 2 boxes. I like the cards but 30% of the first box was
either mis-cut or had been damaged. Fleer will get a nice letter
and a box of returns from me!

| 495.4 | Some more poor QC ... | FUTURE::JST_ONGE | John St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715 | Tue Feb 09 1993 19:50 | 21 |
| For you variation collectors, there exist 8 variations in the
Tom Glavine Insert set. These variations are found only in the
Series I wax packs, which means everyone will rush out to buy
series I packs now ;-) Anyway, the variations can be found
with the first words of text. Listed below are the correct and
variation versions of the text:

| 495.5 | Team Leaders | FUTURE::JST_ONGE | John St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715 | Wed Feb 10 1993 22:03 | 14 |
| Picked up some Fleer Rack Packs tonight (2$ each, 27 cards per with
1 Team Leader card). I got the Thomas, Griffey Jr., Juan Gonzalez
and Clemens Team Leader cards. Nice insert set and should be fairly
easy and affordable to complete. The rack packs also include the
Glavine inserts, but it's easy to tell what's in the packs because
the Glavine inserts are white, which makes it easy to pick out when
you look at the bottom section of the rack pack. The team leaders
are gold bordered. The cards in the packs can't be slid back and
forth to see who's who, but at least you can tell if you're getting
a team leader or Glavine card. Also you can see the top and bottom
cards in each section. The local CVS drug store must have had about
200 rack packs out.

| 495.6 | 1993 Fleer Final Edition | PENUTS::JST_ONGE | John St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715 | Mon Oct 11 1993 15:42 | 13 |
| I broke open a 1993 Fleer Final Edition Set. 310 cards all total.
300 cards are the same design as the regular cards. There is also a
10 card insert set called Diamond Tribute and it's cards of future
"hall of famers" like Dave Winfield, Nolan Ryan, George Brett etc.
Not a bad insert set, gold borders, horizantal cards with two nice
shots on front.
The other 300 cards include full team sets of the Rockies and Mar-
lins and also the regular traded and rookie players found in the
regular update sets. I don't think this one will be scarce like
last year's update set.
