Buybacks[edit]

.jpg?id=f81b7ea7-c7fc-430f-9242-7a15b101f55a&size=original&side=back&.jpg)
Each Hobby box is expected to yield an autograph, game-used, or game-used combo card from a previously-released Fleer/Skybox product that had been repurchased (allegedly) and seeded into National Pastime packs. There are over 1000 different cards and listing them all would be pointless.
Each Buyback is hand-numbered and supposed to have had a National Pastime logo embossed on the card; however not all Buybacks were embossed. In addition, some cards were serial-numbered twice: once by machine and again by hand. The machine numbered cards were serial-numbered at the time of the product's original release. The hand-numbering took place for National Pastime.
Buyback 1959 Fleer Ted Williams Autographs[edit]
Fleer purchased an entire autographed 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set and randomly inserted all 80 cards into National Pastime packs. Each card was inserted into a penny sleeve along with a corresponding Certificate of Authenticity. In addition, Fleer randomly inserted an additional twenty-five unsigned 1959 Fleer Ted Williams cards.
