Barry Larkin
Year: 1987
Brand: Fleer
Card number: 204
Parallel set: Glossy
The 1987 Fleer Glossy set was a limited edition factory set that Fleer produced. The only difference (that I'm aware of) between a regular 1987 Fleer card and 1987 Fleer Glossy card is the Glossy card has a (no surprise) glossy coating on the front of the card.
I bought the card you see above from a seller who had it labeled as the 1987 Fleer Glossy card. That being said, I can't say I saw a big difference of touch when compared to my "regular" Fleer Larkin card from the same year. I guess all I can do is hope that my card is, in fact, the glossy version - it did seem to be a bit glossier but the difference wasn't as pronounced as I'd prefer it to be!
To my knowledge the glossy's were only available in the tin sets released between 87-89. Like you said the only difference I can see is the "glossyness" of the card. Maybe this was Fleer's effort to be like Topps, when Topps released the Tiffany sets.
