Sweet Sigs

Pre-dating Upper Deck's Sweet Spot brand by almost half a year, this 10-card set features the autographed "Sweet Spot" of an actual baseball mounted onto a card. Since the checklist mirrors that of the 1998's Diamond Ink program, it is believed that Fleer used the excess stock of unclaimed baseballs for this set.

A month after the product went live, representatives at Fleer publicly released print run information on three short-printed cards.
