Description[edit]

1996 Flair was a 400-card set released in July, 1996. A year after releasing a horizontally-oriented etched-foil set, '96 Flair kept the etching but utilized a vertical orientation. In a twist, all 400 base cards were printed on either gold or silver-foil; thus, each player had a gold and silver variation of their base card. However, unlike a traditional parallel, half the total production run was in silver, the other half gold so there was no difference in scarcity between the variations.

Distribution[edit]
