Description
Tapping into the rich history of the Fleer and Skybox brands, Upper Deck’s 2015-16 Fleer Showcase Hockey combines the 1990s with modern hit expectations and a heavy dose of rookies. Each box includes one rookie autograph patch, two more hits, and several inserts and parallels.
Largely mirroring the 14-15 edition, a moderate 100-card base set is enhanced by limited parallels like Red Glow and White Hot that add a jersey patch piece.
A key option for rookie collectors, Hot Prospects autograph patches drop one per box and are numbered to 499 or 299 and include Red Glow (#/25) and White Hot (#/5) parallels. There are also Hot Prospects Duos (#/399) and Trios (#/599) versions with Red Glow (#/25) and White Hot (#/5) parallels. Other signed choices include up to 30 Flair Rookie Autograph Patches, each numbered to 65 or less.
Given the nostalgia factor and reputation of the brands included, inserts are a major focus in Fleer Showcase and fall one per pack. Building on Metal Universe Rookies (1:4 packs), collectors are treated to one of the top parallels of the nineties. The famed Precious Metal Gems (or PMGs) are featured with Red (#/150), Blue (#/50), Green (#/10) and Purple (#/5) options.
Additional hobby favorites come in the form of Fleer Ultra Rookies (#/699), with Platinum (#/99) and Violet Medallions (#/25), and Skybox Premium Prospects (#/499) with Star Rubies (#/50) and Sparking Diamonds (#/5). Flair Showcase offers Flair Row 1 (1:6 packs), Row 0 Rookies (1:14 packs), Blue Ice (#/199 or 99) and one-of-one Masterpiece cards. Bringing more to the table, Row 1 Materials (1:36 packs) and Premium Materials (#’d) are joined by Row 0 Rookies Materials (1:18) and Auto Patch (#/65 or 35).
