Albert Pujols is a definite first ballot Hall of Famer. No doubt about it. His rookie cards though have cooled off quite a bit since their heyday. If you purchased some of his rookie cards at their height with the sole intention of turning a profit, you’re probably not too happy right now. That’s what happens.
When Albert Pujols was all the rage, it created the perfect opportunity for counterfeiters to do their thing. His 2001 Fleer Tradition #451 rookie card became a major target. If you’re in the market for one, I highly recommend buying it in person. That way you can inspect it better.

Question: Hi Sports Card Info! Great site! I need some help. Could you please tell me where this Ken Griffey, Jr. 1999 Fleer Tradition card is from? It looks just like the base, but the card numbering is different? It doesn’t match up with anything on the checklist. Have I stumbled across a rare find? Is there only six copies of this card? Thanks.
Answer: Good question. That specific card and five others did not come out of the typical 1999 Fleer Tradition baseball set. Spectra Star, a division of Toy Biz which was owned by Marvel at the time, made a series of six baseball card themed kid’s toy kites. The kites resemble base cards from 1999 Fleer Tradition. Each kite came packaged with an accompanying card. You’re correct. The only difference between the regular cards and the ones included with the kites is the card numbering. Kites of Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey, Jr., Greg Maddux, Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza, and Mark McGwire were made. Many of these kites were sold. The “3 OF 6” refers to Ken Griffey, Jr. being #3 in the set of six. It has nothing to do with the amount of copies printed.
