The cards feature a silhouette of the player on a light green background with dark green horizontal stripes. At the base of the obverse, the player's name, team, and position are printed in yellow. Green, white, and black are the three main colors of the card backs. Three pitchers, eight position players, and a designated hitter are the "best" players at each position.| 1988 Fleer All-Stars |
