Fleer lives. The '06 Hot Prospects issue focuses on the big-name rookies and includes the requisite memorabilia cards.
Not since the heralded class of 1983 has a group of rookies entered the NFL with as much hype as the Class of '06. Headlined by Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush and impact players such as AJ Hawk, Lawrence Maroney and Vince Young, the first year players are long on potential.
Upper Deck's Fleer brand features them all in 2006 Hot Prospects Football (five cards-per pack, SRP $9.99).
"2006 Fleer Hot Prospects Football is well known in the industry as
delivering some of the best rookie cards year-in-and year-out," said
Chris Kollmeyer, Associate Football Product Manager for Upper Deck.
"Hot Prospects Football has built quite a reputation among hardcore
rookie football card collectors for its oversized autograph and jersey
rookie cards."
Hot Prospects Football features one numbered autographed rookie jersey card and two autographed cards on average. In addition to the 100-card regular base set there are also an additional 60 Hot Prospect Rookies (60- cards numbered to 1150), Hot Prospects Autographed Rookies (30-cards numbered to 499), Hot Prospects Autographed Rookie Materials (32-cards numbered to 999) and Hot Prospects Autographed Rookie Materials - Home Letter Patches (10-cards numbered to 175) to bring the overall regular set to
an astonishing 232 regular cards.
Fleer Hot Prospects will be in stores in early November.
