Description

The 1994 Sportflics 2000 Rookie/Traded set was released exclusive to retail outlets in November 1994. Like 1994 Score Rookie/Traded, the set features a radically different design than the regular Sportflics set.

Originally set for release in October, the product was originally canceled by Pinnacle Brands due to the 1994 MLB Player's strike and the ensuing lack of interest among Hobby dealers. However strong sales of Sportflics at mass market retail outlets, encouraged Pinnacle to release R/T to retail outlets.

The set features a rookie card of Alex Rodriguez.

Distribution

Wax: 18 packs per box, five cards per pack; retail only. (MSRP $1.89)
