1998 Flair Cubs Checklist

Number of Cards

1998 Flair had 120 cards, with 3 Cubs players and lots of varations

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½

Basic Features

The 1998 set may be confusing due to the different rows and subsets, referred to as 'variations' by Fleer. Each "Row" was then sub-divided into four, 30-card sub-sections featuring a different cardback design and banner. All base cards are labeled "Section 2" on the back

The first Flair Baseball set was released in 1993. Originally titled 'Fleer Limited', '93 Flair was Fleer's initial attempt at creating 'super-premium' cards to compete with Topps' Finest. That base set was printed on 24-point cardstock, the thickest ever used on a trading card, with glossy UV coating on both sides.

All 480 base cards, which include 120 players from all four 'Rows', are available in both Legacy and Masterpiece parallels. These parallels are labeled as 'Section 1' (Legacy) or 'Section 0' (Masterpiece) on the reverse.
