December, 2023

Life sure did take over and put a big hold on my “blogging!”

Well, I’m back at it and will be updating the site and blog with progress on the 2004 Fleer GOTG Baseball set and start discussing the 2004 Fleer GOTG Football set, the 2003 Fleer Flair Baseball Greats Box Toppers subset, the 2006 Fleer (Upper Deck version) Greats of the Game Baseball set and the 2005 Donruss Signature Series Hall of Fame Subset. See, I’ve been busy with lots of things! Just not updating the blog.

See you all very shortly.

  1. Scott, Loved your blog. Glad to hear you are back to blogging about Fleer Greats.

    I just want to point out that on the 2003 Flair Greats Sweet Swatch cards, there are many serial number variations where one player may have 2 or 3 different variations where the serial number on the back is different. I discovered this a few years back, Beckett doesn’t note it. I noted this on TCDB.com, every variation there I have confirmed exists. For the Sweet Swatch Patch Masterpiece, I’ve only ever seen one come up for auction on eBay. https://www.tcdb.com/Inserts.cfm/sid/1613/2003-Flair-Greats

    I never started the 2005 Donruss set. Below is my wantlist for the Fleer sets you mentioned (and more), as you can see, I’m close to a true master set on the 2003 (not counting the Sweet Swatch Masterpiece) and 2006 (not counting the bat barrels). Cards listed in red font with brackets around them are cards that I don’t believe exist. Cards with asterisks on both sides are cards I have confirmed to exist. Cards in italics (like the non redemption 2002 cards, 2003 Classic Patch, and 2004 Blues) are cards that I have non serial numbered versions of, most likely from the Fleer bankruptcy auction. Cards in red highlight are cards I am waiting for from my recent COMC shopping request.
