2001 Fleer Platinum
Description
2001 Fleer Platinum was a baseball card set produced and distributed by Fleer. The set was originally intended to be a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the 1981 Fleer set. Also the set was also intended to only be a 300 card set. But after the set was so successful, a second series was quickly produced and released later in the year.
