Description

1999 Flair Showcase is a 432-card set released by Fleer. Like with previous Flair Showcase sets, each of the 144 players in the set were featured on different levels/"Rows", which each Row featuring a unique front design:

  • Row 3: "Power" design
  • Row 2: "Passion" design
  • Row 1: "Showcase" design

The Row 3 cards were easiest to find, while the Row 1 cards were the toughest.

Each "Row" was then subdivided into

  • Showpiece: Black and white background, portrait picture, yellow banner
  • Showtime: Team-colored background, full-body picture, grey banner
  • Showdown: Team-colored wave background, full-body picture, silver banner

Each of the 144 players in the set had one card in each of the three rows, with a specifically assigned cardback design per Row, meaning each player had 3 base cards total. The "Seat" number on the back represented the card number in the set.
