Stargell Stars
In the wake of his April, 2001 death, and in order to fulfill outstanding autograph redemptions, Fleer created this special Willie Stargell game-used card. Each card is hand-numbered to 700 copies.
Autographs
This is a 94-card autographed partial-parallel of the base set. Some of the autographs packed out as redemptions, all of which expired March 1st, 2002, and are denoted in the checklist below. One of those cards that packed out as an exchange card was Willie Stargell who died before he was able to sign his cards. Fleer would fulfill Stargell's redemption with a game-used card (see above). For other players, some but not all, of their autographs did pack out. Those players who have both live autographs and redemptions are indicated below.
