Description
1998 Flair Showcase is a 480-card, multi-fractured, multi-tiered, set released by Fleer in July, 1998. There are 120 players released on four different, repeating, levels, each with it's own front design: Flair (also known as "Row 3"), Style (Row 2), Grace (Row 1), and Showcase (Row 0). The Row 3 cards are the easiest to find, while the Row 0s the toughest.
Each "Row" is then sub-divided into four, 30-card, sub-sections, each with it's own reverse design: Showtime, Showstopper, Showdown, and Showpiece. Each of the 120 players in the set has one card in each of the four rows, and one card in each of the backs.

Checklist
Base Set
For brevity's sake, only one "Row" is listed below. The checklist for all four Rows is identical. Also note that only the player's Row 3 card is considered his "true" rookie card.
Parallels
All 120 cards in all four Rows are available in the following parallels.
- Legacy Collection (serial-numbered to 100 copies)
- Masterpiece (one-of-one)
Inserts
Wave of the Future
This 12-card insert features thick plastic cards filled with vegetable oil and sparkles in an attempt to mimic ocean waters.
Perfect 10
This 10-card insert features color player photography using silk-screen technology. Only 10 serial-numbered copies of each card were produced, making it one of the scarcest non-parallel inserts of the era.
