Description

2004 Classic Clippings was a baseball card set produced and distributed by Fleer. The set follows some of the same insert theme groups and ideas of the 2002 Fleer Box Score and 2003 Fleer Box Score sets.

Each 18-pack Hobby box should yield one autograph, one game-used memorabilia card, and one serial-numbered base card.

Distribution

Hobby: 18 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $7). Four boxes per case.
