There is a deep, dark secret that I must share with you. I am a Seattle Pilots fan. I wasn't alive during the team's existence, but I always found it strange that a team would last for only one year before moving on. Something about that seems odd. Armed with this information, I won a contest over at the Fleer Sticker Project.After a series of mishaps, mostly weather related, I received my Fleer stickers in the mail on Monday. I found more than I bargained for, which is why this post is slightly delayed. I've been trying to figure out the years of each sticker that I won. My hat is off to Jon. I don't know where he digs this information up, but it is outstanding!
This is what I've figured out so far.
1981 Fleer White Sox hat/Chicago lettering sticker
1982 Fleer White Sox logo sticker
1983 Fleer White Sox hat/Sox lettering sticker
1985 Fleer White Sox jersey/pennant Chicago Sox lettering sticker
1986 Fleer White Sox logo/pennant sticker (Eddie Collins back)
1986 Fleer White Sox logo sticker (Honus Wagner back)
1988 Fleer White Sox ball logo in holder sticker (2)
1988 Fleer White Sox/Cardinals logos/labels sticker
1989 Fleer White Sox logo sticker
1990 Fleer White Sox logo sticker
1991 Fleer White Sox logo sticker
1991 Fleer White Sox/Orioles/Red Sox/Angels logo sticker
1991 Upper Deck White Sox hologram logo sticker
This is what I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly. Some of the guessed information comes from sleuthing at Jon's Fleer Sticker site.
1 cloth logo sticker - red circle background, black shoes on batter - 1970 or 1971?
1 cloth logo lettering sticker - current lettering logo in blue and 60's style lettering logo with blue background - late 60's?
1 Grand Slam hi-gloss sticker - logo plus 3-D lettering with pink background and puzzle back - late 70's or early 80's?
1 sticker - 60's style lettering logo on red background and Chicago lettering 70's style in blue with puzzle back - 70's?
1 sticker - late 70's/early 80's style Sox lettering on blue background and Chicago lettering 70's style in blue with puzzle back - 70's?
1 sticker with 60's style logo lettering with red background and current Sox logo lettering in red - 60's or 70's?
Any help? I appreciate all of them. They will all be given a good home with me. The cloth stickers are especially cool! Thanks Jon! Your site continues to amaze me. And here is further proof that contests are so easy that even I can win! So, check these things out and enter!
