I don't recall collecting this set as a kid, but I don't think that it had anything to do with the green borders though, as I didn't dislike them back then, and still don't mind them even now.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-64492833189350749002020-06-09T10:53:05.401-04:002020-06-09T10:53:05.401-04:00Thanks Nick!

I wonder if this set will ever take on a cult following similar to really bad hockey jerseys, like the mustard yellow Vancouver "V" jerseys from the early '80s, or the "fish sticks" jerseys the Islanders wore for a couple of years in the mid-90s.gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-54336265327275043482020-06-09T10:50:24.146-04:002020-06-09T10:50:24.146-04:00Nice compliment Jeff, thank you!

It would be fun to watch a documentary about this set, where some of Fleer's production and design staff were interviewed about the green borders.gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-58293272112642488642020-06-09T10:49:56.353-04:002020-06-09T10:49:56.353-04:00The team logo does help differentiate the design a...The team logo does help differentiate the design a little bit, doesn't it?

Heheh.<br /><br />Seems like Upper Deck owns the Fleer name now, so maybe we'll collaborate one day. Or maybe they'll just cite copyright infringement and take my design ideas, like you said. (Hopefully they're more friendly than that.) Exciting story either way, I guess. . . gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741867383463399828.post-49866043183968562592020-06-09T10:32:25.933-04:002020-06-09T10:32:25.933-04:00Thanks Fuji!

I've always had a love/hate relationship with this release; wanting to shake someone silly til they said why they went with green. Your Griffey is amazing! We all know it's dark in space, not green. How come it is you're not working for a card company?? Someone will steal your ideas. Or someone here will reach out to them so they can steal your ideas...
