For me personally, the Star card has always been weird. From its regional team baggie distribution that reminds me of the Topps Team sets you can get at Target, to a simple design that gets reused over and over again. Aesthetically it’s just subpar. Even the card back design is lacking. Needless to say, the cards aren’t for me but to each their own.

Do you have a link?
It is known fact that 25% of 1986 Fleer photos were used previously in Star issues. In fact, zero 1986 Fleer cards have photos from that year; the photos were all pre-1986 and most, if not all, of them were purchased from Star Co.
