2000 Fleer Showcase is a 140-card product, released in October, 2000.  The product featured a 140-card base set that was broken into tiers as follows: 100 Base Veterans (1-100). 40 Prospects (101-140). Cards 101-115 were serial-numbered to 1000 copies, and cards 116-140 were serial numbered to 2000.
2000 Fleer Showcase is a 140-card set, released in October, 2000.  Fleer Showcase replaced Flair Showcase in Fleer's stable of brands; however, despite the name change, the product bears little resemblance to the multi-tiered, multi-fractured, Flair products of the late 90s.  In its place was a more conventional set that was broken down into 100 Base Veterans (1-100) and 40 Prospects (101-140). Cards 101-115 were serial-numbered to 1000 copies, and cards 116-140 were serial numbered to 2000
 
Each 24-pack Hobby box should yield 12 inserts, two serial-numbered Prospects, and a Fresh Ink autograph.

Pre-dating Upper Deck's [[2001 Sweet Spot|Sweet Spot]] brand by almost half a year, this 10-card set features the autographed "Sweet Spot" of an actual baseball mounted onto a card.  Since the checklist mirrors that of the 1998's [[1998 Fleer Diamond Ink|Diamond Ink]] program, it is believed that Fleer used the excess stock of unclaimed baseballs for this set. 
 
A month after the product went live, representatives at Fleer publicly released print run information on three short-printed cards.  However, it should be noted that none of the cards are serial-numbered.

Description

2000 Fleer Showcase is a 140-card set, released in October, 2000. Fleer Showcase replaced Flair Showcase in Fleer's stable of brands; however, despite the name change, the product bears little resemblance to the multi-tiered, multi-fractured, Flair products of the late 90s. In its place was a more conventional set that was broken down into 100 Base Veterans (1-100) and 40 Prospects (101-140). Cards 101-115 were serial-numbered to 1000 copies, and cards 116-140 were serial numbered to 2000.

Each 24-pack Hobby box should yield 12 inserts, two serial-numbered Prospects, and a Fresh Ink autograph.

Distribution

24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $3.99). Hobby exclusive.

Pre-dating Upper Deck's Sweet Spot brand by almost half a year, this 10-card set features the autographed "Sweet Spot" of an actual baseball mounted onto a card. Since the checklist mirrors that of the 1998's Diamond Ink program, it is believed that Fleer used the excess stock of unclaimed baseballs for this set.

A month after the product went live, representatives at Fleer publicly released print run information on three short-printed cards. However, it should be noted that none of the cards are serial-numbered.
