Masterpiece Mania (serial-numbered to 300 copies)

Masterpieces (one-of-one)

Prospect Portraits

The first 999 serial-numbered copies of each Prospect subset card (#226-#250) feature a different photo than the remaining 3000 copies. The first 999 all have a head-and-shoulders portrait, while the rest have an action photo.

Masterpiece Errors

Fleer accidentally inserted into packs a number of error Masterpiece cards. The cards have the same lavender-foil stamping as a real Masterpiece, but lack the "One of One" marking on the reverse side.
