Genuine Coverage

Genuine Coverage features a postage stamp-sized swatch of game-used jersey, at a time when such cards were still a novelty. The set is sequentially-numbered based on the player's uniform jersey number.

Mike Mussina and Heath Murray's cards did not pack out and only emerged after Fleer's 2005 bankruptcy. Murray is depicted as a Cincinnati Red, a team he went to Spring Training with in 2000, but never pitched in a regular season game for.
