One Card Only - clear Fleer

This is another card that arrived via eBay. 

Card Number 564: Fleer Ultra Season Crowns, 1996; #2

There were ten acetate cards in this insert series. I wasn't sure which was the best background to scan them on. Here it is scanned on white background.


And scanned on a black background...


The heraldic shield in the background is presumably something Fleer dreamt up for fun. I'm not aware of baseball bats and baseballs being used in actual coats of arms. But who knows, maybe one day they will. 

Having the coat of arms in the background renders an odd shape on the reverse of the card. The printing style also makes it hard to read.


There is another entry for my log of different ways Tony is described on the cardback - ""the game's premier "Batman"..."

Acetate cards are still quite unusual, and this is a fun inclusion in my collection.

Total: 564 cards

  1. Love acetate. As for the coat of arms... Leaf used them in one of the shiniest and cool looking sets ever:
