2003 Fleer Mystique
Description
Fleer Mystique is a 130-card set released in November, 2003. The last 50 cards in the base set make up the "Rookie Unveiling" subset, and each card is serial-numbered to 699 copies.
Unlike the 1999 and 2000 editions of this product, there is no "covered" card in every pack. Instead, each 20-pack Hobby box contained one "Mystery" pack that contained two Blue Rookie Unveiling parallels (each serial-numbered to 200 copies) and either an autograph or game-used card.
Each 20-pack Hobby box should be expected to yield three Rookie Unveiling cards, five serial-numbered inserts, three serial-numbered parallels, and two game-used cards serial-numbered to 150 copies or less.
Distribution
20 packs per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $6). Hobby only. Six boxes per case.
