Today we offer part one in the ongoing series, “Can You Believe That This Is An Actual Baseball Card That The Fleer Corporation Was Not Embarrassed to Produce and For Which People Paid Actual Money?!”
Was the photographer given a strict limit of one frame per player? Did they just roll down the window and wave the camera in Mr. Minton’s direction as they zoomed by in their car? Was the picture taken through a wet paper towel? Did the editors at Fleer think that the blurriness of the text would distract collectors from the blurriness of the picture? I demand answers…

When I first saw this post, I assumed that Nerd York City had just done a bad job with the scanning. Yikes – looks like quality control wasn’t a top priority for Fleer in the early 1980s.
Also, I didn’t realize that Mr. Baseball was actually a documentary, but it turns out that Tom Selleck really did play major league baseball.
you gotta understand that it’s rare we spot a Gregorus Mintonus in its natural habitat. this specimen is clearly about to jump up and dart away. the photographer was incredibly lucky to have gotten so close. I’ll give you $1000 for the card.
