Description

1996 Metal Universe is a 250-card set released by Fleer in the summer of 1996. All cards are printed on etched foil with a unique design that intermingled fantasy comic book elements with baseball -- not surprising since Fleer was owned by Marvel Entertainment at the time.

Distribution

24 packs per box, eight cards per pack.

Retail Jumbo: 36 packs per box, 6 cards per pack.
