Dave Winfield 1987 Fleer Limited Edition
Now this is a sweet one! Have a look:
The card comes from the 1987 Fleer ‘Limited Edition’ set. This set was released in a boxed set format and it included 44 total cards. As you can see, the graphics package that the set featured is on the gaudy side, but it is fun at the same time.
With so much going on with the card, the image of Dave Winfield makes his 6 foot, 6 inch frame seem rather small, doesn’t it??
A great addition to my Dave Winfield player collection.

Given how easy these sets were to find, they were anything but “limited”. Even Sears sold these things. That said, I do miss these little 33-card & 44-card sets from Topps and Fleer.
Jason- I’m with you. The tag of ‘limited’ is strictly a marketing tool.
I love the 87 Fleer Limited Edition set! I think that Topps should definitely produce these types of sets again.
Matt- I’d be all for that! It would be nice to see the hobby get another boost and reach out to a new generation of collectors.
