From 1986-88, Fleer made a 120-card "Classic Miniature" set.
And the best thing about them - they used different photos from the regular sized set.

Happy birthday to Indiana State baseball great Larry Bird.
ISU baseball coach Bob Warn dared him to try baseball, so...
On April 28, 1979, he played against Kentucky Wesleyan and went 1 for 2 with a 2-run single.

Remember that card of the guy who had something inappropriate written on the knob of his bat? You know, the guy with the more famous older brother who also played in the majors?
