This past Sunday, Donald D. Peck, the retired President of Fleer pass away.

At the helm of Fleer, Mr. Peck challenged Topps and their monopoly on the sports card industry. The challenge went all the way to the Supreme Court in 1982 where Fleer was rejected in their challenge to publish baseball card packs. However, he found a way around the ruling and Fleer flourished providing sports cards to fan collections.
