2001 Fleer Platinum
Description
2001 Fleer Platinum is a 601-card set produced and distributed by Fleer, as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the 1981 Fleer set. The first series of 301 cards was released in May, 2001 and was originally intended to be the sole series. But after the set was so successful, a second series of 300 cards, officially known as "2001 Fleer Platinum Rookie Collection" was quickly produced and released in December.
In addition to the use of the 1981 Fleer design, Platinum was notable for being released in wax, jumbo, and rack pack formats -- each with their own pack-specific "hits." Each Hobby Wax box (both series) contained one game-used memorabilia card. Each Jumbo box (both series) yielded a hand-numbered game jersey patch card. Each Series One Rack Pack came with a buyback autograph, while each RC Series Rack Pack had a Lumberjacks game-used bat card.
The last 51 cards of Series One (cards 251-301) are short-printed. Card #301 was a late addition to the product and was serial-numbered to 1500 copies.
The last 100 cards of the RC Series (cards 502-601) are also short-printed. By mistake, cards #402 (Freddy Garcia) and #529 (Mark Prior) were switched with each other on the printing forms; thereby making #402 an SP. This also made Mark Prior's Platinum card his only true rookie card that was not intentionally short-printed.
Also randomly inserted into RC packs were serial-numbered rookie cards from other previously released 2001 Fleer Baseball products.

Parallels
All base cards, with the exception of the late Albert Pujols addition (#301), are available in a Platinum Edition parallel. Each short set card is serial-numbered to 201 copies, while the SPs are numbered to only 21.
Inserts
20th Anniversary Reprints
This set features reprints of classic Fleer cards. Each card was intentionally printed off-register giving it a blurry, out-of-focus, look -- if only to differentiate it from the originals. Each card also has a "Fleer Platinum 20th Anniversary" logo on the front.

Classic Combinations
The Classic Combinations set was inserted into all Series One pack types. Cards 1-10 are serial numbered to 250; 11-20 are serial numbered to 500; 21-30 are serial numbered to 1000; and 31-40 are serial numbered to 2000.
The set is paralleled by a Retail version that was inserted 1:20 retail packs only and are virtually identical to the main set except that none of the cards are serial numbered. Instead, a "retail" logo is printed where the serial-number would otherwise be.
Eleven of the forty cards are also paralleled with a game used card. These cards feature a piece of game used memorabilia from each player and are all serial numbered to 25 copies each.

National Patch Time
National Patch Time is a 66-card game-used set exclusive to Series One and RC Series Hobby and RC Series retail wax packs.
NOTE: Mo Vaughn, Kazuhiro Sasaki, Aaron Sele, Todd Walker, Jorge Posada, Vida Blue, Jim Palmer, Mike Mussina, Jim Rice, and Carl Yastrzemski were all one the original Series One cheecklist, but were pulled at the last minute from Series One packs. Vaughn, Sele, Posada, and Sasaki were eventually seeded into RC Series packs. Rice, Mussina, and Yastrzemski were never intended for release; however, a single Mike Mussina card was verified to have been pulled from an RC Series pack. In 2004 copies of the Yastrzemski card were reportedly sent out to collectors as exchange premiums for other issues Fleer could not fulfill. Rice's card eventually made its way into The Hobby, and may have been backdoored after Fleer's 2005 Bankruptcy.
Walker, Blue, and Palmer's cards have never emerged and can be assumed to have never been made.

Rack Pack Autographs
This 21-card set is one of the real highlights of the group of insert sets in 2001 Fleer Platinum. The cards are buy-backs from other Fleer releases (mostly from the late-90s Sports Illustrated sets) that were hand signed and inserted into Series 1 Rack Packs. Most of the cards were serial numbered by hand on the card front.
Four rather generic looking cards with 1997 copyright dates that were not released as part of any 1997 set (Paul Konerko, Ben Grieve, Wes Helms, and Jose Cruz, Jr.), were included as part of this set.
In addition to the cards listed below, autographs from the 1992 Fleer Roger Clemens Career Highlights and the 1998 E-X 2001 Signature 2001 sets were also inserted.
