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. 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.

Distribution

Seven cards per pack (MSRP: $200). 12 packs per case. Hobby only.
