When 1991 Fleer came out, it was the only modern card with a design and type that I could accurately recreate on my word processor because it has straight lines.

So I made a lot of custom 1991 Fleer cards by making the border lines and names and the cutting pictures out of magazines. I made all different colored borders out of construction paper.

Even back then I thought the bright yellow was ugly and the design bland, but it was the only set I could accurately make. They're back at my parents' house or else I'd show them off.

I'd be willing to bet that Fleer used Microsoft Paint to design that set. It STUNK!

The crazy thing is they had the golden ticket design wise but only used it on the all star card rack pack inserts. If they had done that for the base set, 1991 Fleer would be a candidate for GOAT

Oh man, if the base set was in that All-Star insert design it would have been incredible. I don't know why base sets have to be so safe and plain. But then when Fleer decided to go crazy with its 1995 set, the result was a hideous mess.
But Fleer often had the best-looking insert cards.

1983. Iconic trio RCs plus a nice crisp look when pulled out of the pack.

I'm just disappointed at how few pics there are in the thread.
