2005 National Pastime

Description

2005 National Pastime is a 79-card set released by Fleer in March, 2005. This was Fleer's penultimate product before filing for bankruptcy in May. Cards 1-50 make up the short-set while 51-80 are short-printed and serial-numbered to 699 copies. Card #64 does not exist.

Each 10-pack Hobby box promises at least two autographs, and buyback autograph or game-used card. Every 12-box Hobby case is expected to yield a game-used patch card serial-numbered to 50 copies.

There is a short-printed Justin Verlander RC in the set.
