Autographs & Game-Used

Emerald Autograph Redemptions

Exclusive to Hobby packs, this six-card set loosely parallels the player's base card and can 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. Curiously, the autographed card Fleer sent back to collectors was signed on an ordinary base card without the 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.
