Eighties Alphabetically - Fleer Stamps

 Fleer issued two stamp sets, one in 1982 and the other in 1983.  

The 1982 set consists of 242 players, with ten of those being Cubs.  The design is very basic, with just a picture and sticker number on the front and a blank back.  The stamps were fairly large, at 1 13/16" x 2½"

 

 

 

 

 

Every one shows the Cubs in their road uniform.  It looks like most of these were taken at a spring training game.  The Jim Tracy sticker gives a good view of the second to last Cubs player to wear #23.

The 1983 release has 224 players plus 26 team logo stamps.  For the Cubs, there are eight players and one logo.  This time the stickers included the player's name but were unnumbered.  There were two different sizes of stickers because some of the players had an offer sticker attached to their sticker.  

They are also significantly smaller than the 1982 stickers.
