2011-12 Fleer Retro Basketball Checklist
What do you guys think about this? Will this be another tragedy or prosperity?

Well.....it's just another college uniform set from UD....but as a Fleer collector it's always nice to see the Fleer name getting a run.

I said it on Blowout - it's a GREAT idea, but ruined with the goddam college jerseys...

 

[Billyhoyle]

the only thing that i don't like is they seem to have overdone it - looks like they've tried to include every awesome fleer insert ever

 

[Shaun]

I would have been all over this like a fat kid on cake if it wasnt for those damn college jerseys

 

[Jeff.L]

I believe the highlight of 2012-13 Fleer Retro will be Star Rubies in college uniforms

over the college stuff when r the ud and topps getting back in the NBA ????
Panini just aint cutting it

 

[PistonsFan00]

A case will be coming my way

I love they are bringing some old greatness back, but as others have said the college sh!t takes a down a few notches. They should wait to do this when they get the NBA back. I like this Idea cause you will get the sweet older inserts with newer players like Dwill, Rose, Durantula, Griffin and all the new stars who weren't around when they first came out. College stuff has got to go.

LOVE IT! Believe it or not my dream card is Big Man On Court DeMarcus Cousins!!

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Slightly intrigues me. But will most likely flop

 

[drsma1]

not a fan....maybe bring back the names, but making them exactly the same just lacks creativity.

Hmmmmmmm on one hand I'm loving that UD have been listening to us, on the other hand as others have said the college crap ruins it and I don't like the fact that they are making them so easy to get... ruins the appeal of them a bit; it says you will get 2 per box from the list of those old inserts?

However overall, good initiative from UD.

 

[PistonsFan00]

Yeah they should mayby go back to 1:72 packs for an insert or something just for one set making them to easy to get will not make this set valuable
Will every card be a college card?

All the best designs rehashed but at what expense? As a 90's collector its is slightly annoying to have those rare cards copied. If they had kept with the idea and made them slightly different designs to the originals i'd be all for them. Just looks to me like UD are trying to cash in on the popularity of 90's cards.

Saying that i may have to grab a box or 2

 

[drobfan8]

I think this stuff will sell very well. A chance at PMG's plus 3 autos per box will have it flying off the shelf. I don't like how it's all the top insert sets of the 90's but hey it might see Panini up their game. UD are loooking to take a big cut of the market.

Plus the inserts are a bit common, but at least it will have people chasing inserts, not much of that with Panini, people are either chasing Rookies or autos.

Can't wait to see some busted, must be pricey???

 

[A_Iverson_I]

TBH I HOPE they are pricey..... might save some face with making the inserts and autos so easy to get.

 

[PistonsFan00]

I think they will be very pricey I'm guessing about $200 a box

 

[A_Iverson_I]

I'm hoping for at least $350

Panini just aint cutting it

Panini have an exclusive 4-year deal with the NBA....the deal commenced in 09/10. The 2013/14 season would be the first season where the other brands could possibly make a comeback....assuming they can get a deal with the NBA.
