Let's Talk About Sets Volume 55:Finished!

 
There is so much sad hate on 1995 Fleer products that it makes me love it more than I already had.

Today, meet their rookie insert named NFL Prospects.

The Fleer base product didn't include any rookie cards in it's 400 card set. These were the only way to land a rookie card in the product. It sort of reminds me of Bowman in baseball where they have a prospect set in the product, only difference being that Bowman has rookies in it's base set.

These NFL Prospect cards fall 1:6 packs and feature players that Fleer expected to go high in the 1995 NFL Draft.

For me, it has nothing to do with the players but more to do with the design. This card screams 90's and looks like they could have used these cards in the theme song of Saved By The Bell.

Thanks to Burbank Sportscards Beckett Marketplace  I saved 10% by using code 15Burbank at checkout and was finally able to complete this set after all of these years of chasing.

Sets Of My Childood THE SERIES Part 13:1995 Fleer NFL Prospects

Sets Of My Childhood THE SERIES is a spinoff from just a wantlist. I decided not only would I make a want list of each of the sets I am chasing in a tab, but I thought a little breakdown and feature may help get me more set help. I am sure many of the sets I am seeking are nickel and dime type of cards so I am hoping my trader friends can be on the lookout for any I don't have.

Yes, we head back to 1995 Fleer for Part 13 of this series and more football. Don't worry, there are other sports to but the main beef of my needs will be football. Today's insert line captures the rookies of 1995 in a Saved By The Bell design.

 


1995 had a few good prospects, but many turned out to be bums. Other's I liked just because they grew on me like Kerry Collins. I felt I liked him more than the Giants pick Wheatley that year.

This 20 card set fell 1:4 packs back in 1995. The front as a gloss and not gloss texture. The background is rough while the player and the writing is glossy. I think these look awesome but not all will agree with that statement especially coming from 1995 Fleer.

My current haves are,

2,3,4,5,6,7,13,15,16,19,20

I have some, but still have a ways to go and will need help doing so!
How many of you remember or collected these?
