1997 FanFest

Description

For the fourth consecutive year, the five MLB baseball card licensees joined forces to produce a five-card tribute set for the All-Star Game FanFest. This year's honoree, Jackie Robinson, was not a member of the home team (Cleveland), however.

To obtain each card, collectors had to rip open a selected number of packs at each company's corporate booth. Fleer/Skybox produced a sixth card of former Cleveland Indian Larry Doby.

Checklist

NOTE: Donruss' contribution to this set was a reprint of Jackie Robinson's 1949 Leaf card. They reprinted the same card for 1997 Leaf Series Two. The Leaf insert was serial-numbered to 1948 copies, while the FanFest card is not.
