Description

2001 Fleer Red Sox 100th is a 100-card set created in commemoration of the Boston Red Sox 100th anniversary. The product was released in June 2001 and every card depicts a current and/or former Red Sox player.

In addition to the conventional Hobby box, Fleer also issued this product as a factory set and in a special Hobby-only "Legacy" Box. Both the factory set and Legacy box contained a die-cast Red Sox tractor trailer from White Rose Collectibles (which Fleer had acquired earlier in 2001). In addition, the Legacy box also included a Red Sox hat autographed by a Red Sox player -- not unlike the Fleer Legacy product released earlier that year..

2001 marked the 100th Anniversary of the American League, and Fleer had proposed similar sets for the other seven charter A.L. teams, but only produced the Red Sox set.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99)

Legacy: 15 packs plus one die-cast Red Sox tractor trailer and one autographed Red Sox hat, five cards per pack. Hobby only.

Factory Sets: Also includes one die-cast Red Sox tractor traier.
