From the auction.... The actual blueline proof sheet used in the original production of 1988 Fleer Basebal Cards. This sheet was obtained from the original photographer who produced player photos and stats for Fleer Corp in the 1980's. You are bidding on a wax paper like heavy duty paper sheet containing six rows of eleven player card photo fronts. Once the photos were taken they were scanned on paper sheets and sent back to the photographer along with the card back sheets for verification of faces and statistics. Once this authentification process was complete, these sheets were returned to Fleer for final production of the actual cards. This particular sheet you are bidding on is the only one of its kind in existence. I've included a scan of a portion of the sheet. Some notable players on this proof sheet are: Bob Forsch, Dave Stieb, Greg Gagne,Fernando Vlaenzuela, Doyle Alexander, Ron Gant, Dave Smith, Mike Marshall, Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams, Ken Caminiti, Garry templeton, Ken Griffey Sr., and Jimmy Key.
One of the corrections on the sheet was changed on the final printing. Pretty neat. I still have yet to check all his notes to the final printing and see if any of his notes apply to error cards that were later corrected or UER. These are new to me and well worth the <$20 I spent.
This seller didn't get the 1989 Fleer sheets. Said the photographer he got these from, quit Fleer in '88.
He said they sold one with the Jordan RC for $2k. Unfortunately a pic was not saved.
Anyone own any ? Is the above auction info correct? The photographer would review the stats ?
He questions players position
Players position incorrect
Players position correct
This sheet is not a Blue Line Proof Sheet. It is a 3x4' 1983 Fleer sheet that was issued to put stickers on. A ebay seller and others cut these up and sell as Proofs.
Not proofs- One of the 5 they have for sale.
