Chasing the 2004 Fleer Greats of The Game Baseball set, Part 4.

I have talked about the autograph and memorabilia parts of this set as well as the many variations that have pushed this 80-card set well past 300 cards. Now, the heavy hitters! And the reasons that I will, most likely, fail to complete my master set mission.

Moving along, the Greats of the Game edition also include six (6) Comparison Cuts autographed cards and three (3) Personality Cuts autographed cards. Included here are the “big boy cards” such as cut autographs of Babe Ruth, Connie Mack, Lou Gehrig and Jackie Robinson to name a few. By the way, these nine (9) beauties bring our total for the Greats of the Game edition to 365 cards.

Finally, the Greats of the Game edition concludes with 15-card Etched in Time cut autographs subset. These are also what I consider the “big boy cards” of this edition. Mostly 1/1 or at most “of 3,” they include Roy Campanella, Roberto Clemente, Thurman Munson and Ty Cobb. These are beautiful cut signatures (from the pictures I’ve seen!). These Etched in Time cards bring our total for the Greats of the Game edition to 380 cards.

 

I will give my final thoughts on this Greats of the Game edition in tomorrow’s post.

Until then, have a great Tuesday.
