The Fleer Corporation may be relegated to hobby lore, but the brand names associated with the Philadelphia-based company are still around. The latest nod comes from 2015-16 Fleer Showcase Hockey, produced by Upper Deck and set for release Wednesday, April 6. A full checklist is below.
Upper Deck, which owns the rights to those old Fleer logos and monikers, promises five cards per pack and 12 packs per box. Current online pricing is $110-$120.
Each box will have one Hot Prospect Autograph Patch card numbered to 499 or less with two additional autos or memorabilia cards among the 12 packs. Red Glow and White Hot parallels of the Prospect Auto Patches are numbered to 25 and 5 respectively.
There’s a 100-card base sets with memorabilia parallels
There are insert/chase cards with old school names like Metal Universe, Skybox Premium, Ultra and Flair. Each box will have three Metal Universe rookie cards. The 90s style Precious Metal Gems Parallel inserts will be among the bigger hits with Red, Blue, Green and a new Purple version, numbered to just 5.
