Description[edit]

1997 Circa (produced by Fleer/SkyBox) is a 400-card set released in May, 1997. Billed as a set for the "serious" youth collector, the fronts feature new "in-your-face" graphics that lift the player off the card. The backs carry in-depth player statistics and "Did you know" information.

An Alex Rodriguez promo card (P100) was distributed to dealers.

Exclusive to Hobby packs were six exchange cards that could be redeemed for an autograph of the player depicted. The fronts of the exchange cards are identical to the base card except for emerald green foil accents on the card fronts and game rules on the card backs. The autographed card Fleer sent back to collectors was signed on an ordinary base card with emerald green foil. The expiration date to redeem the cards was May 1st, 1998.

A seventh card from this set of Andruw Jones was available in 1997 Fleer.
