1991 Fleer Football Cards – 10 Most Valuable

Look, you can’t really sugarcoat this … 1991 Fleer football cards aren’t worth much these days.

That’s what happens when you produce enough of each card to fill all the craters on the moon and don’t even see fit to include any big-name rookie card.

Still, these are “old” cards that look sort of interesting, and there are plenty of Hall of Famers to be had cheap.

How cheap?

I’d be surprised if you had to pay even $10 for any of these guys … even in perfect graded condition.

Regardless, these are pretty much the best 1991 Fleer football cards going.

1991 Fleer Warren Moon (#70)

Moon was a superstar in college at Washington way back in the 1970s.

Then … he was a superstar in the Canadian Football League in the late 70s and into the mid-1980s.

He finally got a chance in the NFL at age 28 with the Houston Oilers , and — wouldn’t you know it? — he was a superstar.

Now?

He’s a Hall of Famer.

1991 Fleer Bo Jackson (#110)

By the time this card found its way to collectors, Jackson had already suffered the hip injury that would end his football career and curtail his baseball development.

Still, has there been a more exciting overall athlete in our lifetimes?

I’m not so sure there has, and all the “what-ifs” keep Bo in the afterglow of collector love all these years later.

1991 Fleer Dan Marino (#124)

Back before there was Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or Drew Brees — and after there was Dan Fouts — there was Dan Marino, who could throw a touchdown pass to Shmoo.

Marino could pass for more yards than fit in a Houston suburb.

He could wear Isotoners like Jay Cutler wears a sleepy smirk.

But what Marino couldn’t do was win the Super Bowl, or even get there — after that first one in 1984, at least.

No matter now, because dude is a legend, and a Hall of Famer, to boot.

1991 Fleer Mike Singletary (#225)

Speaking of legends and Hall of Famers, this guy right here — Mike Singletary — is the guy most folks think of when they think of that great 1985 Chicago Bears defense.

He was the quarterback of that unit, after all. Their leader. Their heart and soul.

At least, that’s the general perception, and it’s true, for all I know.

I know for sure that Iron Mike was a seven-time All-Pro and first-ballot Hall of Famer.

So, yeah, this late-career card belongs on our list.

1991 Fleer Troy Aikman (#228)

And so does this early-career card of Aikman, issued just a couple years into his tenure as Cowboys quarterback.

He had suffered through a 1-15 season in 1989, got the ‘Boys all the way to 7-9 in 1990, and had them on the verge of the playoffs when Fleer pushed out this puppy.

Three Super Bowl wins later, and Aikman was a lock for Canton (and this list, fulfilling another of Troy’s dreams, I’m sure).

1991 Fleer Emmitt Smith (#237)

Aikman and Michael Irvin and Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones and all the rest of the ’90s Cowboys would have had a darn tough time on their journey without a horse like Emmitt Smith to run the ball.

And, really, there never has been an NFL horse quite like Smith, who holds career marks for carries, rushing yards, and touchdowns.

He also stands second to one of the guys below in total yards from scrimmage.

And, it turns out, Emmitt can dance.

1991 Fleer Barry Sanders (#247)

Through their age-30 seasons, Sanders led Smith by nearly 1300 yards running, and they were going tit-for-tat in winning rushing titles.

Problem is, Barry retired before he ever reached 31, while Emmitt kept galloping for another five years.

Oh well … at least we can wonder what might have been if Sanders had done the same.

1991 Fleer Lawrence Taylor (#319)

Was Taylor the greatest linebacker of all time?

Ray Lewis and a couple of others might have something to say about that, but there’s no denying L.T. redefined the position in the 1980s and made the sack a sexy stat.

When this card was issued, Taylor was coming off his second Super Bowl with the Giants, and his legend was already nearly fully baked.
