Description
2004 E-X is a 65-card set released in late August, 2004. Much like with their Flair brand, Fleer upgraded E-X into a $200/pack mega-premium brand. Unlike Flair, E-X remained strictly Hobby-only. Each seven card "pack" contained four base cards, a serial-numbered rookie card, and autograph and a game-used patch card.
The first 40-cards of this set featured veterans while the final 25 cards feature Rookie Cards and leading prospects. Those cards (41-65) were issued to a stated print run of 500 serial-numbered sets with the first 150 of those cards being die-cut.
As with 2004 Flair, E-X at it's new price point was not well received by collectors. This would be the final E-X set as Fleer want out of business a year later.
Distribution
Seven cards per pack (MSRP: $200). 12 packs per case. Hobby only.

Checklist
Base Set
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info,serial from cards WHERE (year = '2004') AND (setname='E-X') AND (num < 41) ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>
Rookie subset
Each Rookie subset card is serial-numbered to 500 copies, with the first 150 cards die-cut.
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '2004') AND (setname='E-X') AND (num > 40) ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>
Parallels
Rookie Die-Cuts
The first 150 copies of each Rookie subset card (cards #41-65) were die-cut.
Essential Credentials
Similar to other year's E-X sets, each of the 65 base cards has two Essential Credentials parallels: Now and Future. The aggregate number of Now and Future cards adds up to 66. Each Essential Credentials Now card is serial-numbered to a production figure that matches the card's sequential number, while the Essential Credentials Future is numbered to 66 minus the card number.
For example, Dontrelle Willis (card #15 in the set) has 15 Nows and 51 Futures (66 - 15 = 51).
