As part of a promotion run the following year, Fleer had Todd Helton autograph 800 copies of his Dugout Axcess card.  Two of each card were distributed to 380 of Fleer's Hobby shops for their "1999 Fleer Baseball Card Flipping Challenge" promotion.  Each Hobby shop owner was supposed to give one of the Helton cards to the winner of a card flipping contest.  The other was for the Hobby shop owner.  The remaining Helton autographs were distributed at the 1999 All-Star FanFest.  Each card is embossed.

Description

1998 Skybox Dugout Axcess is a 150-card set released by Fleer in the summer of '98. The product was intended for children and as such has numerous "kiddie" themed inserts and subsets. The product wasn't not particularly popular with either collectors or kids, and was discontinued after only one year.

Distribution

24 packs per box, 12 cards per pack (MSRP: $1.59)

As part of a promotion run the following year, Fleer had Todd Helton autograph 800 copies of his Dugout Axcess card. Two of each card were distributed to 380 of Fleer's Hobby shops for their "1999 Fleer Baseball Card Flipping Challenge" promotion. Each Hobby shop owner was supposed to give one of the Helton cards to the winner of a card flipping contest. The other was for the Hobby shop owner. The remaining Helton autographs were distributed at the 1999 All-Star FanFest. Each card is embossed.
