448.0. "1992 Fleer Football" by BSS::G_MCINTOSH (Earn More Sessions By Sleaving) Wed Jun 17 1992 19:34

    Well, I saw that 1992 Fleer football cards are out and they are MUCH
    better than last years.  Yes, I know they can't get much worse.  But
    anyway, I like them and they're available.

    I got one set which is all I needed - unlike you investor types who
    bought a few cases hoping to cash in later ;-)

    Ayuh, and my wife still hasn't forgiven me for using the rugrats
    college education fund on those cards ...

    I picked up a pack tonight since they were 1.20$, but I got a Sanders
    All-Pro insert in it - sorry Jeff no Rypien's.

    I like the blue inserts, good change from all that black.  Costco's
    has boxes for $23.99, more than baseball was but I guess because
    the packs have 17 cards in them.  Fleer did a nice job again.

448.7Good wax box distribution !FUTURE::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Sun Jun 28 1992 14:506
    Good distribution in the box I opened.  Only missing 9 cards out of a 
    480 card set.  Also only missing two checklists for my checklist col-
    lection. Glenn, I had 8 extra Chargers for you ;-) The new card stock
    Fleer uses is nice.

    I bought a jumbo box last nite at a pretty good price,$47.96. The 
    regular price is $1.99 a pack. there are 32 cards,and you can get lucky
    and get a Rookie Sensation or a Rypien card,all total I got 3 Rookie
    Sensations,and 4 Mark Rypiens.The all Pro-Vision cards look prettygood
    too.I like these better than last years cards.
    
    Jeff I got dups on (Rypien) card #4.
    
    Saint what #'s do you need ?

448.9jumbos! jumbos! where??DDIF::TANCILLlong may you runWed Jul 01 1992 15:449
    
    Where did you find jumbos John, i haven't seen them around yet.  Is
    it typical jumbo distribution:  wholesalers only (not hobby dealers),
    find them in magazine/book stores, drug stores, grocery stores?

    p.s. thanx for the "Ryp", talk to you via mail about trading these...
    
448.10more ?'sDDIF::TANCILLlong may you runWed Jul 01 1992 15:454
    
    Oh Yeah, meant to ask, what do the sensations look like?  Blue and
    gold also?  Like basbeall ones or different?  How many in the subset?
    
448.11sensationsDDIF::TANCILLlong may you runWed Jul 01 1992 20:3819
    
    Well, I'll answer my own questions.  I got some at the same local 
    Hallmark card store that carried the baseball jumbos, same packaging
    except blue, looks like same distribution channels.
    
    I got 7 rookie sensations and 3 Rypiens (that's pronounced RIPen for
    all you non-skins fanatics).  The sensations are very nice. Color
    photo in a "rasied" tilted rectangle on a green football field
    background.  Red and blue stripe at top with rookie sensations
    in gold and a gold football.  The player's name is at the bottom
    in gold lettering on a maroon colored stripe.
    
    I'll try and post a partial checklist later, 20 card subset
    in all.  I think the good news here is that these should stay
    more reasonable in price at shows since most dealers and collectors
    around here seem to poo-poo anything football.

    I checked the checklist under the 49ers,and did not see Joe Montana
    listed,does anyone know what the reason is ?
    
    John M.
    
    Good luck Jeff on your findings,some guys are just lucky ;-)

    There a lot of stars etc. who sign exclusive contracts with NFL Properties
    and don't belong to the NFLPA (player's association).  If the card company
    doesn't have a contract with  NFL Properties,  then  they  can't have that
    player in the set. I have a feeling this is why Joe isn't in the Fleer set
    this year.
