Description

2003 Fleer Box Score is a 244-card set released in July, 2003. The set consists of 125 cards that were issued in packs, and 119 cards that were exclusive to one of four supplementary boxes that were randomly seeded into Hobby boxes.

Cards 1-100 feature veteran players. The next ten cards make up the "Box Score Debuts" subset, with each card containing the actual USA Today Baseball Weekly box score from the player's respective Major League debut. Each Box Score Debut is serial-numbered to 599 copies. The last fifteen pack-inserted cards (#111-#125) make up a short-printed rookie subset.

The final 119 base cards were distributed in one of four, 31-card boxes that were inserted as box toppers. These boxes were meant to evoke the numerous boxed sets Fleer produced in the 1980s. There are five different boxes, each with 30 base cards and one game-used memorabilia card.

Rising Stars (Cards #126-#155)
All-Star Lineup (Cards #156-#185)
International Road Trip (Cards #186-#215)
Bronx Bombers (Cards #216-#245; card #224 does not exist)
Classic Miniatures (30-card partial parallel)

Only 2400 of each boxed set was produced with First Edition parallel sets limited to 100 randomly inserted into Hobby boxes.

NOTE: Each boxed set has the top lid sealed with a sticker bearing the serial-number of the set (unlike last year's set, the individual cards are not serial-numbered). However, the bottom lid is NOT sealed, nor is the set shrink-wrapped, making the sticker on top pointless.

Distribution

18 packs plus one 31-card supplementary box per box, seven cards per pack. Hobby only
