Description

2006 Flair Showcase is a 200-card set released by Upper Deck in August, 2006. As the name suggests, '06 Flair Showcase marked a return in the multi-fractured base set that was common to this brand in the late 90s. Unlike late 90s Flair Showcase, each player had only one card.

Cards numbered 1-100 make up the Upper Deck subset and serve as the de facto short set. Cards numbered 101-150, which were titled Field Box, were issued at a stated rate of 1:4 Hobby and 1:8 retail packs. Cards numbered 151-200,which were titled Suite Level, were issued at a stated rate of 1:8 Hobby and 1:16 retail packs.

On the provisional checklist, many retired players and Hall of Famers were to have appeared in the base set, but MLB/MLBPA restrictions led Upper Deck to replace them with active players.
