The 1981 Fleer Here’s Bo series of trading cards may be one of the oddest sets of the era. Unlike many strange sets of the era, though, it’s not the subject matter or the design that makes this an oddity but rather the checklist itself.

The series is a life retrospective of Bo Derek — at least the first 25 years of her life — who was just a few years into her acting career at the time. The checklist consists of 72 cards and also 198 cards. How is this possible? For each card front (all of which are numbered # of 72) there are several different card backs. Some of the backs are story cards, some are pieces of a puzzle but every card in the set has at least one and sometimes up to five different card backs. For example, card #1 of 72 can be found with Story Cards 1,7, or 13 of 16. To further complicate matters, Story Card #1 can also be found on the back of card #23

The packaging boasts a 72 card checklist as well as 12 posters (one per pack) for collectors to track down so for the purpose of this checklist we will list each card back as a variation. A completed puzzle will have six rows and eight columns (48 cards) and a complete story consists of 16 cards meaning there are only 64 different card backs. We know, it’s weird.

Clicking a link within the checklist will direct you to an affiliate retailer or to relevant eBay listings. Below the main checklist we have included a graph for the puzzle to indicate which cards particular pieces appear on. We have done the same for the story cards.
