1983 Fleer Baseball Star Stickers

1983 saw the return of player stickers after a 1 year absence in 1982. The 1983 Baseball Stickers were smaller than the standard baseball card size, and were sold in strips of 12 stickers, with 10 players and 2 team logos per strip.


Here is a picture of the left half followed by the right half of one of the strips:


The design is very similar to the 1981 design with blue borders, a yellow frame around the picture, and even 2 red stars at the top. Here is a comparison of the 1983 sticker to the 1981 sticker featuring George Brett to give an idea in the difference in size and the similarity in design:

Rather than using the logo stickers as an insert, the logos were incorporated into the set itself. Here is the complete set of the logo stickers:


The last item on the bottom right is the back of one of the logo stickers. It contains an ad for a giant 3 x 4 foot poster that could be used for collecting your stickers. Instead of a sticker album (like what Fleer issued for the 1982 stamp set), Fleer issued this poster:


I don't think many kids sent away for the poster, as I have only seen the poster available once on ebay over the last few years. Given the size of the poster, its not a very practical way to store your collection as it would be difficult to fold or roll up once stickers were applied to it.
