Description
When the 1984 Fleer Update Baseball set was released, it was Doc Gooden's rookie that most collectors coveted. Today, its biggest asset is the inaugural "Rocket" Roger Clemens card. "In terms of ranking the '84 Fleer Update set (among '80s baseball sets) . . . I would say it would be in the top two - with the '84 Donruss set being the other," said Matt Alderman, a Sammamish, Wash., native, whose set ranks third on the Current Finest PSA Set Registry. Available exclusively in factory sets, the 132-card issue was Fleer's first foray into update sets. With a design that mirrors the regular Fleer issue, the cards are numbered with a "U" prefix and ordered alphabetically. Steve Hart, owner of the Baseball Card Exchange in Lynwood, Illinois, says that there are 50 sets in each 1984 Fleer Update case. Unfortunately, these sets aren't sealed which has left them susceptible to tampering. "An original factory sealed case would have a premium because... that's the only way you can say that no humans have touched them," he said. And while production numbers are unknown, quantities of this issue are believed to be limited. Hobbyists estimate that anywhere from 4,000 to 100,000 sets have been manufactured. This scarcity, as well as the popularity of the Clemens card, are key reasons that the set remains highly sought after. On top of the "Rocket" and "Doc" rookies, this set also boasts the first Fleer issues of Kirby Puckett, Bret Saberhagen, Jimmy Key, John Franco, Mark Langston, Jose Rijo, and Ron Darling. Also offered are singles of several Hall of Famers, including Tom Seaver, Phil Niekro, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, and Dennis Eckersley, as well as a coveted card of Pete Rose. Condition (Very Good).
