Description

2001 Fleer Platinum was a baseball card set produced and distributed by Fleer. The set was originally intended to be a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the 1981 Fleer set. Also the set was also intended to only be a 300 card set. But after the set was so successful, a second series was quickly produced and released later in the year.

Inserted into second series rack packs at a rate of 1:1, this 27 card set features some of the more feared sluggers in the game, as well as several young hitters poised for a breakout. The cards are unnumbered, but typically organized alphabetically by last name. The Albert Pujols card is notable as one of the game used cards from his rookie year.
