	1999 Fleer Mystique is a 160-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets in August 1999. Each four-card pack included one card covered in a blue, opaque, sticker which had to be peeled off to reveal what it was (hence the name "Mystique"). Peel off cards were either short printed super stars from the basic set (#1-#100), a serial-numbered Prospect (#101-#150) or Super Star card (#151-#160) or an insert card. For obvious reasons, the Fresh Ink autographs and Feel the Game game-used cards are not covered.		1999 Fleer Mystique is a 160-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets in August 1999. Each four-card pack included one card covered on both sides with a blue, opaque, sticker which had to be peeled off to reveal what it was (hence the name "Mystique"). Peel off cards were either short-printed super stars from the basic set (#1-#100), a serial-numbered Prospect (#101-#150), a serial-numbered Super Star card (#151-#160), or a serial-numbered insert card. For obvious reasons, the Fresh Ink autographs and Feel the Game game-used cards are not covered.

	Mystique is notable for it was the first baseball card set that combined an ample number of "true" rookie cards with the scarcity (by late-90s standards) serial-numbering. While other products of the era had short-printed base cards, many of these sets did not have SPed rookies -- or if they did, the "rookies" were often cards of players whose "true" RC was in a previous year's release.
