Now we see the arrival of the Flagship’s series two release. We’re starting to see how Fanatics is going to handle the hobby, and it doesn’t necessarily seem good. Gone are the days of six months lead times for ordering. Now, there is only a few weeks notice between the time LCSes are solicited and the product is released. Stores are seeing limited product, while prices continue to go up at the same time that volume keeps rising, as well. This doesn’t seem like a good combination for the long term.
This release picks up where series one left off, with cards numbered 331 – 660. It also continues the full SSP set for each card, along with the 1988 tribute sets. A box contains 10 packs with 46 cards per pack. Each box also advertises 1 Autograph and 2 Relic Cards.
This box contained:
417 Base (304 different of 330 card set – 92.1%)
