Sweet Sigs

Pre-dating Upper Deck's Sweet Spot brand by almost half a year, this 10-card set features the autographed "Sweet Spot" of an actual baseball mounted onto a card. Since the checklist mirrors that of the 1998's Diamond Ink program, it is believed that Fleer used the excess stock of unclaimed baseballs for this set.

A month after the product went live, representatives at Fleer publicly released print run information on three short-printed cards. However, it should be noted that none of the cards are serial-numbered.

• SS1 Nomar Garciaparra 53
• SS2 Alex Rodriguez 67
• SS3 Tony Gwynn
• SS4 Roger Clemens 79
• SS5 Scott Rolen
• SS6 Greg Maddux
• SS7 Jose Cruz, Jr.
• SS8 Tony Womack
• SS9 Jay Buhner
• SS10 Nolan Ryan
