1998 Fleer Tradition Update

Description

1998 Fleer Tradition Update was a 100-card set issued exclusively in factory set form and issued in November, 1998. After a one-year hiatus, Fleer brought back the post-season Update set in large part to get the first J.D. Drew Rookie Card on the market. The set featured a Season Highlights subset (U1-U10) and rookie cards featured a gold foiled "Rookie" stamp on the front.

The specific availability of this Update set marked the return of the factory set-only distribution method that had a rich history and was used between 1984 through 1994.
