2003 Leaf Limited

Description

2003 Leaf Limited is a 204-card set issued in two separate series. The primary Leaf Limited product - containing the first 200 cards from the basic set - was released in September, 2003. Each four-card pack will yield an Autograph or Game-Used card numbered to 100 copies or fewer.

The first 150 cards feature active veteran players and were issued to a stated print run of 999 serial numbered sets -- with most players appearing on more than one base card. Cards #151-#170 feature retired greats and were serial-numbered to 399 sets. Cards numbered #171-200 are entitled "Phenoms" and feature rookie players, most of whom signed their cards and most of those cards were issued to a stated print run of 99 serial-numbered sets.

The final four cards (201-204) were randomly seeded within packs of DLP Rookies and Traded released in December, 2003. Each of these Update cards was signed by the featured athlete, serial-numbered to 99 copies and continued the Phenoms subset established in cards 171-200.

Distribution

Four packs per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $70). Ten boxes per case. Hobby only.
