2000 Fleer Showcase

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.

Sweet Sigs

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.

• SS1 Nomar Garciaparra 53
• SS2 Alex Rodriguez 67
• SS3 Tony Gwynn
• SS4 Roger Clemens 79
• SS5 Scott Rolen
• SS6 Greg Maddux
• SS7 Jose Cruz, Jr.
• SS8 Tony Womack
• SS9 Jay Buhner
• SS10 Nolan Ryan
