The set features 225-player cards (cards 1-225), and a 25-card Prospect subset, issued in two separate varieties. Each Prospect is serial-numbered to 3999 copies. The first 999 of each of these cards feature a portrait shot on the front of the featured prospect. The next 3000 cards issued have an action shot on the front of the featured prospect.

Each card is also sequentially-numbered with an "M" suffix, just like the real one-of-one Masterpieces.

Fresh Ink

Each Fresh Ink features an autograph signed on a sticker affixed to the card, making it one of The Hobby's first examples of a "sticker" autograph. Unlike later sticker autographs, each sticker was unsigned when it was attached to the card. Fleer resorted to this method as the ink from a signature would never fully dry on the card's glossy surface. The stickered area of the card is embossed with a Fleer seal for authenticity. The set is not sequentially-numbered.

NOTE: Troy Glaus and Mike Lieberthal's Fresh Ink cards packed out as exchange cards, which expired May 31st, 2001. The Tony Gwynn and Derek Jeter cards were not on original checklists and were late additions seeded into packs just prior to shipping. According to Fleer, Jeter signed only 100 cards (though they are not serial numbered).
