Chasing the 2004 Fleer Greats of The Game Baseball set, Part 3.

Now lets move on to the memorabilia section of this set.

The Greats of the Game edition also includes the Glory of their Time (GOT) subset. Included here are 35 base cards, 32 of which appear in a “silver” game-used memorabilia variation, 31 come as a “gold” game-used variation and 13 also appear as a game-used patch variation. That’s 111 Glory of their Time cards and variations which pushes our little set up to 356 cards.

 

It is in the Glory of their Time subset that I find my second interesting fact. There are two cards whose game-used variations come with a twist. Carlton Fisk (CF1 and CF2) and Jose Canseco (JC1 and JC2) both have a game-used uniform swatch card (CF1 / JC1) and a game-used bat variation (CF2 / JC2). My research shows that the Canseco bat cards (JC2) appear as both a silver and gold variation but the Fisk bat card (CF2) only appears in a silver variation. They are all included in my numbers above.

 

Another neat fact is that the Glory of their Time Tony Gwynn cards (TG1 and TG2) are offered as a white uniform swatch (TG1) and a grey uniform swatch (TG2). The TG1 and TG2 cards also have their own patch card variation as well.
