Redemption Prospects
Due to the stunning lack of "true" rookies on the original checklist, Fleer added five additional Prospect cards (#231-#235) very late in the production run as exchange cards. The identity of the player on these five addition cards was not revealed until after the product's release. These "mystery" redemption cards -- which only featured the card's sequential and serial numbers -- were a way for Fleer to include Ichiro and Albert Pujols in the product, as neither made their Major League debut at the time of Fleer Premium's release. These exchange cards all expired May 1, 2002.
NOTE: During this time period it was common practice for Fleer, as a security measure, to stamp a card's serial number over top of a holographic "strip." While all of the serial-numbered cards that were inserted into packs of 2001 Fleer Premium have the strip (including the five mystery Premium Prospect redemption cards), some the fulfilled Premium Prospects do NOT have the strip.
- 231 Ichiro Suzuki EXCH RC
- 232 Tsuyoshi Shinjo EXCH RC
- 233 Albert Pujols EXCH RC
- 234 Wilson Betemit EXCH RC
- 235 Drew Henson EXCH RC
Parallels
All base cards EXCEPT the five redemption Prospects are available in a Star Ruby parallel, which is serial-numbered to 125 copies.
