1999 Fleer Tradition

From BaseballCardPedia.com

Description

1999 Fleer Tradition was a 600-card single-series set released in March, 1999. The base set used a full-color, non-bordered design with a gold foil-stamped nameplate that ran along one side of the card - this design mirrored the Mickey Mantle insert set from the previous year. The base set included one subset - Franchise Futures (576-590) - and Checklists (591-600). Unlike last year's set, 1999 Fleer Tradition Baseball was released in a single series and had no short-prints.

In December, 1999 Fleer released the "Millennium Edition" factory set -- the first time a Fleer/Fleer Tradition factory set had been issued in seven years. Limited to only 5000 sets, the Millennium Edition featured all 600 cards from the Fleer Tradition base set plus 20 selected cards from 1999 Fleer Tradition Update. It was sold primarily through the Shop at Home television network.

J.D. Drew was one of The Hobby's most highly regarded prospects and was the face of 1999 Fleer Tradition Baseball. For preview and promotion purposes, Fleer distributed a promotional sample card that was identical to Drew's base card and had "Promotional Sample" stamped on the front and back of the card.

For the second consecutive year, Fleer carried out its national Diamond Skills youth baseball program. To promote the program, Fleer issued an 8-card sheet featuring various stars within 1999 Fleer Tradition base set. Hobby shops that participated in the Diamond Skills competition received the 8-card sheets to distribute to youths that participated in the program.

On the sheet's top margin, the winners and runners up in the previous year's Diamond Skills competition were given a mention. Notably, a youngster named Eric Hosmer finished in 2nd place in the 7-8 age group in 1998. Hosmer would go on to have a pretty decent Major League career with the Kansas City Royals and San Diego Padres.

5000 Millennium Edition factory sets were produced by Fleer and sold in December, 1999 -- primarily to the Shop at Home TV network. Each set came shrink-wrapped and sealed with a gold sticker that was serial-numbered to 5000. Each set contained the entire 600-card Fleer Tradition base set set plus twenty cards from the 1999 Fleer Tradition Update set -- cards U1-U10 ("Rookies") and U141-U150 ("Highlights") -- which for this set are sequentially-numbered 601-620.

All 620 cards from this factory set contained a special gold foil "Year 2000" logo. Unlike the set, individual cards were not serial-numbered.

This 10-card set highlighted players that seemed destined for the Hall of Fame. Cards were embossed and die-cut to resemble a Hall of Fame plaque and card-fronts were printed on brown holographic foil with a serial-numbered stamp. Each card is numbered to 100 copies.

NOTE: In the early 2010s, a number of non-embossed, non-die-cut, and non-serial-numbered Date With Destiny cards emerged on the secondary market. It is believed that these cards were backdoored after Fleer's bankruptcy in 2005.

This 5-card, over-sized (3 1/2" by 5") set was distributed to attendees of the 20th Annual National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlanta in July, 1999. The cards were packaged in complete set form within a sealed clear plastic cello wrapper. An unnumbered Cover Card (bereft of any player images) that displayed the 20th National Convention logo on front and a checklist on back was the top card in each cello pack. Card NC1 was a parallel of Musial 1999 Fleer Tradition base card and is the only standard-sized card in the set. Cards NC2-NC4 are over-sized cards featuring selected cards from the 1999 Fleer Stan Musial Monumental Moments insert.
