NOTE: Although not on the original checklist, it appears that some The Naturals Game Used Uncommon parallels have emerged. Only two cards are known to exist: Duke Snider and Joe Carter. Both are serial-numbered to 25 copies. These cards may have been backdoored after Fleer's 2005 bankruptcy. Any information on these cards would be greatly appreciated.
