Description
1998 Fleer Diamond Ink was a unique redemption program which allowed collectors to save "points" and exchange them for autographed baseballs.
Randomly inserted into all 1998 Fleer-branded baseball products (1998 Fleer Tradition, 1998 Ultra, and 1998 Flair Showcase) was a Diamond Ink point card bearing the name of one of ten Major League stars, and a point value. Collectors who saved 500 points of the same player could then redeem them for an autographed baseball signed by that player.
Point cards came in 1, 5, 10, and 25 point increments. Judging from supplies on the secondary market at the time of the promotion it appears that a few players -- most notably Roger Clemens, Tony Gwynn, and Alex Rodriguez -- were in shorter supply than others. Greg Maddux was a very late addition to the promotion, thus his point cards were made available only in 1998 Fleer Tradition Series One packs.
