The stickers featured team logos, but this time the team logo was placed over a baseball on a trophy stand:
The other design in the set is a "2 on 1" sticker with 2 team logos sharing the sticker, along with 4 red and white strips with the team names:
The backs of the stickers featured team logos as well:
As mentioned, the stickers were inserts in 1987 wax packs:
1987 saw the debut of the Fleer Glossy parallel set which came in a special tin, and included 66 stickers:
Of course, the stickers were also included in the 1987 update set
as well as the Glossy Update in the special tin:
The stickers were also inserts in the annual Star Stickers set:
And don't forget those ever popular boxed sets which were getting out of hand by this point (1987 saw 9 different sets!):
If you couldn't find any Fleer stickers in 1987, you just weren't trying!

I always wondered about the Expo's logo. Is it the letter M ? Is it the letters elb ? Does anyone know for sure?
My understanding is that it is the letter "M" for Montreal, but done in such a way that there is a red "e" and a blue "b" inside the "M" which creates "eMb", which stands for Expos de Montréal Baseball.
Definitely one of the more clever insignias, similar to the Milwaukee Brewers using an "m" and a "b" together to create a logo that looks like a glove formed by the teams initials.
The trophy logos are fantastic.
I own a 1987 fleer sticker card, which one side has the Giants sticker, but the reverse side says Cincinnati reds.....
any idea on value or rarity of this occurance?
I've got a Brewers sticker with Indians on the back
If you headed to McRearan’s Hardware back in 1987 - My neighbor worked there when I was a kid and the owner would order a case of Fleer. I have no idea why because when we showed him a pack of 1986 Topps cards he took them into his big hands and read out loud “Brian Fisher? Yeah? Looks like a ripe turd to me” before crushing the cards in his palm. But, Fleer was a clear winner to Lenn McRearan and so in 1987 he didn’t realize that Fleer made a ton of different cards and so Lenn calls Fleer after a Bob Horner dingeroo and says “Tell Frank Fleer to send me two cases of EVERYTHING!”
Two weeks later Lenn left for Thailand and never returned. We had so much fun opening all that wax! What memories!
I recently bought a bunch of random baseball cards and found a Roger Clemens 1987 fleer sticker but instead of normal back it has a blank cardboard background that's brown in color. Any idea of why it would have a different back?
