Description

2001 Fleer Premium is a 235-card base set released in April, 2001. Fleer Premium was the new name for the product previously known as 2000 Skybox. The last 35 base set cards (#201-#235) make up the "Premium Prospects" subset, with each card serial-numbered to 1999 copies.

Due to the stunning lack of true rookies on the original checklist, Fleer added five additional Premium Prospect cards (#231-#235) very late in the production run as exchange cards. These exchange cards all expired May 1, 2002.

During this time period it was common practice for Fleer, as a security measure, to stamp the serial number over top of a holographic strip. While all of the serial-numbered cards that were inserted into packs of 2001 Fleer Premium have the "strip," some of the Premium Prospect exchange cards (especially the Albert Pujols rookie card) do NOT have the strip.

Distribution

24 packs per box, eight cards per pack (MSRP: $3.99)
