In the late ‘90s, I bought a lot of Fleer. They were middle
of the line – somewhere between Score and Upper Deck. I usually ranked them
right alongside the Topps flagship in terms or price and quality. The cards
were usually designed decently, and there were fun insert sets.
This particular Tino is from 1999 Fleer. It’s the Warning
Track parallel, seeded at 1 per retail pack. Interestingly, the back of the
card has a “W” next to the number to signify the set. You’d think the red foul
and stamp would be obvious enough, but I like the differentiation.
The image itself is decent. Full-sized, border-less shot with
Tino just about to make contact. I wish the ball wasn’t covered up by his name.
Speaking of which, I like the vertical block letters. The script team name is a
little jarring, but overall it works.
All in all, this is a decent little card.
