Prospects

NOTES

Each card is serial-numbered to 799 copies.

Card #98 (originally to have been Adrian Hernandez) does not exist.

All 799 copies of cards #91-100 were autographed by the player.

Albert Pujols signed the first 300 serial-numbered copies of his card (#102), but unfortunately, packed out as a redemption. The redemption card is a regular Fleer Legacy "base" card serial-numbered 300/799 or less that had a sticker affixed. Collectors could either peel the sticker off and keep their card, or send it back to Fleer who would then have Pujols autograph the card. Cards serial-numbered 301/799 and higher did not have the sticker and were not eligible to have their card redeemed for a Pujols autograph. Unfortunately, the autographed Pujols cards sent back by Fleer (or any of the other pack-inserted autographed Prospects for that matter) were not marked. Collectors should be wary of buying a Pujols autograph with a serial-number higher than 301/799, as it was not signed in the presence of a Fleer representative and could have a counterfeit signature.

Parallels

All 105 base set cards were available as an "Ultimate" parallel, serial-numbered to 250 copies each.

NOTES

None of the Ultimate Prospects cards (#91-100) are autographed.

Card #98, which was pulled from the base set, is strangely included in the Ultimate parallel set.

MLB Autograph Fitted Caps

Each box of 2001 Fleer Legacy contained an autographed hat from either a modern-day or classic player. Specific quantities for caps in short supply were announced by Fleer shortly after the product went live. Those figures are detailed within our checklist. According to Fleer, no more than 500 of each cap was signed. Exchange cards, with a redemption deadline of July 1st, 2002, were seeded into boxes for some players.
