2002 Leaf

Description

2002 Leaf is a 201 card set that issued in March, 2002. Cards numbered from 151-200, which were inserted at a stated rate of one in six and featured 50 of the leading rookie prospects entering the 2002 season. Card #42, which Pinnacle Brands had previously retired in honor of Jackie Robinson, was originally intended to feature a short-print card honoring the sensational rookie season of Ichiro. However, Leaf decided to continue honoring Robinson and never went through with printing card #42. Cards #201 and #202 were added late in the production run, both of which were short-printed in relation to the other prospect cards 151-200.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs per box, 4 cards per pack (MSRP: $3). 20 boxes to a case.

Parallels

Lineage

Lineage is a 149-card Hobby only partial parallel of the base set and show what the 1999-2001 Leaf Baseball sets might have looked like had they been issued. The set is split up into three sections: Cards numbered 1-50 feature the design of the 1999 Leaf Football set, while cards numbered from 51-100 feature 2000 Leaf Football and cards numbered from 101-150 feature 2001 Leaf Football. As with the base set, card #42 does not exist.

All cards are also available as a Century parallel, which is serial-numbered to 100 copies.

Press Proof

The Press Proof parallels the first 149 cards in the base set, plus cards #201 & #202.

• Red (Retail only. Cards #1-#150: 1:12/packs; Card #201, serial-numbered to 500 copies; Card #202, serial-numbered to 250 copies)
• Blue (Retail only. Cards #1-#150: 1:24/packs)
• Platinum (Cards #1-#150 & #201: serial-numbered to 25 copies; Card #202: serial-numbered to 10 copies.)

Chicago Collection

Collectors who attended the March, 2002 Chicago Sun-Times cardshow and opened a sealed Hobby box of 2002 Leaf Baseball at Donruss-Playoff's corporate booth would receive a "Chicago Collection" card.

The set parallels the first 150 cards in the base set.
