2003 Fleer Platinum
Description
2003 Fleer Platinum is a 250 card set that was released in February, 2003. In a departure for the brand, rather than issue separate wax, jumbo, and rack packs, each box contained 14, ten-card wax packs; four, 25-card jumbo packs, and one 45-card rack pack. In another departure, rather than recycle the design of a previous Fleer baseball set, 2003 Platinum used an original design -- although one heavily influenced by Fleer's boxed sets of the mid-80s.
The last 30 cards make up a short-printed Prospects subset, all done in the style of the 1988 Fleer baseball set. Cards 221 through 235 are available in all pack types, 236-240 only in wax, 241-245 in jumbos, and 246 to 250 are exclusive to rack packs.
Each Hobby box should yield two game-used cards; one from the wax packs and the other from either the jumbos or rack pack.
Distribution
Hobby: 14, ten-card wax packs (MSRP $3); four, 25-card jumbo packs (MSRP $5); and one, 45-card rack pack (MSRP $10) per box
