Player to be Named Later

For the second consecutive year, Fleer felt like it needed to add additional cards to compensate for the lack of "true" rookie cards in the base set. In late May, over a month after the product's release, Fleer announced a "Player to be Named Later" program, whereby the first 2002 collectors to send in any ten of the short-printed prospect cards (#201-#240) would receive ten new prospect cards (#241-#250), each serial-numbered to 2002 copies.

The Player to be Named Later cards were also available in a Star Ruby parallel. To receive the Star Ruby version, collectors had to turn in any ten Star Ruby Prospects. Only 50 Star Ruby Player to be Named sets were produced and each card is serial-numbered.

All "Player to be Named" cards were fulfilled in October, 2002.

• 249 Reed Johnson RC 2002
• 250 Mike Crudale RC 2002

Parallels

All 250 base cards (including the ten Player to be Named Later cards) are available in a Star Ruby parallel. The Star Rubies that were inserted into packs are serial-numbered to 125 copies, while the Player to be Named Later Star Rubies are numbered to 50.

NOTE: Each Star Ruby EXCEPT the Player to be Named Later cards, is sequentially-numbered with an "SR" prefix.
