At The National in Baltimore in 2010, I picked up a 1999 Fleer Flair Ripken "card". It was either $10 or $20 (can't remember which) and I didn't know exactly what it was, didn't have it in my master Ripken checklist, and had never seen one before, so of course I just bought it.

I typed "card" above, because it is 8" x 11" not your typical standard sized card like every other 1999 Flair that I have seen.

It appears identical to the regular 1999 Flair Ripken, Row 1, seat 8, card, except that it does not have that designation on the back lower right above "SHOWPIECE", nor the serialized numbering on the front upper left.

11 years later I still do know know exactly what this is, and in searching have not found another, nor found it in any Flair checklist.

Does anyone know exactly what this is?

Thanks in advance.



The 8x11 is shown immediately below, with a sample standard card below it (obviously not to scale).
