Description

2000 Fleer Focus is a 250-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets in April, 2000. The set features 225-player cards (cards 1-225), and a 25-card Prospect subset, issued in two separate varieties. Each Prospect is serial-numbered to 3999 copies. The first 999 of each of these cards feature a portrait shot on the front of the featured prospect. The next 3000 cards issued have an action shot on the front of the featured prospect. Due to how this set was issued, a more common "Action" cards are considered the base cards, while the "Portrait" Prospects are a partial-parallel.

There are no notable rookies in the set.

Distribution

24 packs per box, ten cards per pack. Hobby only.

Fleer accidentally inserted into packs a number of error Masterpiece cards. The cards have the same lavender-foil stamping as a real Masterpiece, but lack the "One of One" marking on the reverse side. Each card is also sequentially-numbered with an "M" suffix, just like the real one-of-one Masterpieces.

Each Fresh Ink features an autograph signed on a sticker affixed to the card, making it one of The Hobby's first examples of a "sticker" autograph. Unlike later sticker autographs, each sticker was unsigned when it was attached to the card. Fleer resorted to this method as the ink from a signature would never fully dry on the card's glossy surface. The stickered area of the card is embossed with a Fleer seal for authenticity. The set is not sequentially-numbered.

NOTE: Troy Glaus and Mike Lieberthal's Fresh Ink cards packed out as exchange cards, which expired 5/31/01. The Tony Gwynn and Derek Jeter cards were not on original checklists and were late additions seeded into packs just prior to shipping. According to Fleer, Jeter signed only 100 cards (though they are not serial numbered).
