Fleer 2005

Continuing a look at Fleer Cubs cards from the 2000's

The Tradition name is missing from the Fleer 2005 set, but the cards definitely have an old-time look to them. The design is very minimal and very conservative (which is a polite way of saying boring!). Many of the cards included old-fashioned posed shots like you saw on early Topps cards.

Here are several of the posed cards:

Moises Alou, like he is kneeling in the on deck circle



Matt Clement, in the stretch



Greg Maddux, with a weird smile



Corey Patterson, kneeling with his bat



Carlos Zambrano, just standing there



There were some actions shots, too and here are my favorites

Mark Prior, making the pitch



Todd Walker, making contact



Kerry Wood, bringing the heat at Wrigley Field
