MT. LAUREL, N.J. - NOV. 5, 2003 -- Fresh for 2004 with an all-new design and an eye on the past, 2004 Fleer Ultra MLB has all you could want in a card set. As always, Ultra features excellent action photography, game-used cards and autographs from your favorite big leaguers.
"Fleer's Ultra brand is one of the longest running brands in the hobby and is consistently a top seller every year," said Fleer spokesman Joshua Perlman. "The 2004 set will not disappoint as there is plenty of value per pack for fans and collectors."
Look for your favorite players and their signatures in Season Crowns. Two levels of these cool autographed or memorabilia card inserts are there for the pack ripping. The autographs are numbered to 150 with a special gold parallel numbered to just 25! Some players featured are Dontrelle Willis, Chipper Jones, Miguel Tejada, Rickie Weeks and more! There is also a non-autographed game-worn version of Season Crowns featuring the likes of Derek Jeter, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Ichiro, Albert Pujols and more! A total checklist of 50 MLB stars!
How about three different MLB stars with three swatches on one card? That is what Fleer brings to the plate with Ultra 3 Kings. These cards feature one Strikeout King, one RBI King and one HR King and are numbered to just 33. Some include: Kerry Wood/Sammy Sosa/Nomar Garciaparra, Mike Piazza/Roger Clemens/Alex Rodriguez and Pedro Martinez/Sammy Sosa/Albert Pujols.
