| 475.2 | Fleer Ultra Basketball | QETOO::HAYES |  | Tue Oct 20 1992 14:23 | 18 | 
|  |     Just got the info on Fleer Ultra Basketball:
    
    	o 2 Series 200 cards per
    
    	o Series I has 15 All-NBA Team insert cards
    
    	o Series I has also a 5 card NBA Award Winners insert set
    
    	o Scottie Pippen is the signature series card (10 cards to the set)
    
    	o There are 6 NBA Draft Picks included in the Series I set
    	   (#'s 193-198) Alonzo Mourning, Adam Keefe, Robert Horry,
    	   Anthony Peeler, Tracy Murray and Dave Johnson.
    
    Now the bad news ---- dealers must pay over $800 per case! Just over
    $40 per box (compared to $34 per box for FB and BB).
    
    Even BJ's will have to sell for $45 per box or so!

    I think that last reply is in the wrong note topic.
    
    Great price though!

| 475.5 | nice set | DDIF::MCEVOY |  | Thu Dec 03 1992 07:45 | 11 | 
|  |     I opened a box last night, these cards are beautiful. I think I'm close
    to a set but I haven't gone through them yet. The photography is all
    top-notch, none of the darkness problems that appear in the football
    set. There are about 6 draft picks including Morning, the players
    are pictured in their college days which I really like. No Magic or
    Bird which surprised me. There is an all NBA team insert set (1st, 2nd
    and 3rd teams), maybe they're included in there? or maybe they'll be
    in series two along with Shaq.

|  |     Finished 2 sets with 1 box, got 2 award winners, 2 Pippens, 2 All-star
    cards.  (Ewing, Price)

    Nice box Walt, the award winners seem to be one per box average,
    two if you're lucky, none if you're me.
    
    I got a Pippen, and 4 NBA 1st,2nd team cards in the one box I opened.
    
    Looks like the insert count will vary all over the place like other
    Ultra products, unlike the 93 Donruss which seems to be consistent
    that you get 4 DKs and 2 SGs.

|  |     I got my box this week and got two sets out of the box. Got two award
    winners but it was the same card #4 (Detlef Schrempf) got 3 all nba
    team (Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen & Kevin Willis) and 1 Pippen card.
    Looks like it's going to take some work on putting these sub sets
    together.

| 475.9 | Fleer Ultra Series II | QETOO::HAYES |  | Tue Feb 09 1993 15:32 | 18 | 
|  |     Just read the checklist for Fleer Ultra II Basketball. There
    will be 3 different Shaq cards. His regular series card and
    2 insert cards (amazing how many times they can work him into
    a product).
    
    The inserts in Series II are:
    
    The Rejectors (Shaq is in here) 5 cards.
    
    The Playmakers (surprisingly he's not here) 10 cards.
    
    Fleer Ultra-Rookie Team (he's in here) 10 cards.
    
    25 inserts in all.
    
    The set itself is numbered 251-375.

|  |     To all who preordered and prepaid for Series II (both Hockey
    and Basketball). I have not skipped the country. A dealer I
    talked to yesterday (Batter's Up in Tewksbury) had called
    Fleer. They are running over 2 weeks late in production
    (must be because they printed a Series II Hockey when they hadn't
    planned to).

|  |     Hi,
    
    I have heard that fleer ultra basketball, series II, is going to 
    begin shipping on March 22nd. They should be in the stores around 
    here, by the end of the month.

| 475.14 | Next Week's Shaqamania | QETOO::HAYES |  | Thu Mar 18 1993 13:31 | 10 | 
|  |     John StOnge and I went to a card shop at lunch. They said that Fleer
    Ultra Basketball II will be out with in a week. I wonder if Fleer
    decided to ship Basketball II before Hockey II? The $46.50 we paid
    for presale seems to be a good price (Of course if Shaq gets
    hurt next year we'll  see it for $30 a box).
    
    How about if I open all your boxes and let you all know what inserts
    you got!!!!! Only kidding Denny!

    Dan,
    
    When you get the lists, would you post them here.
    
    I've got 4 of the five Rejectors (I know Shaq is #4), so I'll send you
    those soon.
    
    In the meantime, does anyone know who is #5, which I am missing.
    
    Regards,
    Denny

|  |     Not sure how consistent this is, but if you open a whole box of 
    Fleer Ultra II, it seems that whatever numbers you get from the All 
    Rookie Series, you'll get the same numbers from the Playmakers set.  
    I got 5, 6 and 7 from the AR Series, and 5, 6 and 7 from the 
    Playmakers set.
    
    So, if you pull a Playmakers #7 (Terry Porter), keep digging for the
    All-Rookie #7 (Shaq) ??!!

|  |     Sort of, but not completely.  I got Anderson, Skiles and Porter
    from my box, and I got Williams and O'Neal and maybe Ellis.  Not
    sure if I bought Ellis separate or not.

| 475.25 |  | MARLIN::MATOS |  | Mon Apr 12 1993 15:51 | 11 | 
|  |     I opened a box and the order was All Rookie; #6 Mourning
                                                 #7 O'Neal
                                                 #8 Sprewell
                                     PlayMaker;  #6 Price
                                                 #7 Porter
                                                 #8 Skiles
                                     Rejectors;  #1 Mourning
                                                 #4 O'Neal
    and two of O'neal regular cards, So my box follows the pattern also.

    Rejectors:   O'Neal
    
    I got 3 Shaq's and 3 Mournings from the regular set though.
