Description

2002 Fleer Genuine is a 140-card set released May 8, 2002. The last forty cards in the base set (#101-140) make up the "Genuine Upside" subset -- with each card serial-numbered to 2002 copies.

There were three different Hobby box types, 10, 18, and 20-packs. Each 18 and 20-pack Hobby box should yield four autographs/game-used cards; while ten-pack boxes come with only two. In addition, each 20-pack Hobby box came packaged with an All-Star Game or World Series program from the 80s or 90s. The 20-pack boxes with the program were distributed exclusively through Fleer's Hobby Distributor network. A retail version of this product was also produced.

There are no notable rookies in the product, the 40 "Genuine Upside" cards notwithstanding.

Distribution

Hobby: Ten, 18, or 20 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $5.99).
