Game on!
A few weeks ago I bought a hobby box of 2000 Fleer Gamers football from my local card shop. Why? I always enjoyed the baseball set and like the card design and stock. So why not buy a box that cost $70+ new in 2000 for $25 today. Plus why pass up the chance at some Titans and Saints cards?
So let's get to crinkling some foil!

One hobby box. Five cards per pack. Twenty four packs per box.
100 Card Base Set
45 Card Next Gamers subset (1:8 Packs)
Parallels:
Gamers Extra - Gold foil printing and has EXTRA under card number
Base Cards 1 - 100 (1:8 Packs)
Next Gamers 101 - 145 (1:24 Packs)
Insert Sets:
Contact Sport - 20 Cards (1:4 Packs)
Yard Chargers
Wide Receivers 1 - 5 (1:9 Packs) / Running Backs 6 - 10 (1:24 Packs)
Quarterbacks 11 - 15 (1:144 Packs)
Change The Game - 15 Cards (1:24 Packs)
Gamers Uniformity - Jersey Cards (1:44 Packs)
Gamers Autographics - On Card Autographs (1:287 Packs)
This is back when game used and autos were a rare treat.
Pack 1

87 Brad Johnson

57 Tim Biakabatuka
Fun name to say. Bad name to type.

13 of 20 CS Dennis Northcutt Contact Sport
Better looking cards in person. Bright and pics are light gold with refractor like shine to card.

81 Kevin Johnson

52 Kurt Warner
Please stop the Hall of Fame talk. Too many bad years for that yet.
Pack 2

Checklist Card
Nothing like a great checklist. If you look closely enough you can see it has great players names on it. Thus making it valuable.

11 Mike Alstott

60 Eddie George
Second best RB in the Oilers / Titans history after Earl Campbell.
First Titan of the box and a nice card. As you can see under Eddie
is a Bronco that was just too scared to tackle.

126 J.R. Redmond

39 Jon Kitna

65 Mark Brunell
Pack 3

56 Steve McNair
When I was working in Vicksburg, MS, Steve was in his last year at the NCAA Division Two level. Some guys I managed were students at Alcorn Stae invited me down to shoot some hoops. After about 30 mins on the court a slightly faded, early 80's Nissan Z pulls up to the court. Out steps McNair. Crowd gathers. My friends laugh as Steve lines up opposite me. After a few minutes he goes for the lane, starts his leap, palms me in the face, pushes off and dunks. 200 people scream happily, laugh, taunt and grab crotches while saying "Damn" "Awe Shit, man" and other stuff. I walk off the court with head held low as Steve laughs and pats me on the back. Steve McNair made me the other guy on the poster.

4 Rich Gannon
Almost a Super Bowl winner. Damn tuck rule.

13 of 15 CG Edgerin James Change the Game
Another bad scan of a great looking foil card.

93 Amani Toomer

9 Jevon Kearse
Great player. Too bad he was a Gator. Had fun taunting him during a friend's batchelor party when Tank Williams got Javon to tag along. He is a great guy and willing to put up with Vols fans. Here's to an injury free season.
Pack 4

46 Raghib Ismail
I forgot. Did this guy save the CFL or not?

15 James Stewart

67 Marcus Robinson

84 Steve Beurlein

100 Kerry Collins
Why could Drunky McFumbles not put together a Super Bowl season for the Saints?
Pack 5

47 Ricky Williams
Thanks to Iron Mike for trying to make the Saints into the Lions.

75 Randall Cunningham
Man this guy was electric.

12 of 20 CS Trung Candidate Contact Sport

64 Emmit Smith

22 Jamal Anderson
What ever happened to the Dirty Birds? Is that you dayf?
Pack 6

71 Damon Huard

59 Wayne Chrebet
Between this guy and Steve Tasker, the little guys were well represented in the 90's.

4 of 15 YC Tim Brown Yard Chargers
Even though this guy is on of the greats of the game I just don't see him that way.

92 Jake Plummer

8 Dedric Ward
Pack 7

23 Ed McCaffrey
Tiny shoulder pads and big catches.

Why could Drunky McFumbles not put together a Super Bowl season for the Saints?
Pack 8

32 Justin Verlander
Good luck on the comeback. Tigers need ya big guy.

100 Yogi Berra Black Border
A non smiling Yogi? Who painted this?
A Mets fan? Yogi should always be smiling or
jumping into Whitey's arms in joy.

18 Alfonso Soriano
I'd smile also if I was paid kajillions to hit like
a Gashouse Gorilla and not produce playoff time.

46 Robin Yount
What is this monstrosity? Yount?
Without a hair covered upper lip? Has all that is
good in this world gone by the wayside?
How can he hit without it?

61 Mariano Rivera
Lights out. Best reliever. Ever.

96 Ernie Banks
Mr. Cub! Great shortstop, hitter and ambassador for baseball.
Pack 9

6 Mark Teixeira
Are they sure this is not Greg Maddux at bat?

26 Grady Sizemore
Plays on a team this guy likes.

69 Chase Utley

Filler Card
First triple of the box.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 3410

20 Carlos Zambrano
Fall apart completely this year. Please?

75 Tony Gwynn
Skinny Tony? And the brown, orange and yellow?
Joe is happy.

47 Prince Fielder
I can has veggieburger??!!1?!
LOLBrewer.
Pack 10

13 Curt Schilling

113 Steve Carlton
Second greatest great pitcher on hard luck teams.
Walter Johnson being first.

Yankee Stadium Legacy Game 413

64 Joba Chamberlain

63 Hideki Matsui
Second double of the box.

77 Jake Peavy
Third double of the box.

50 Joe Mauer
Another great catcher named Joe. How can you not love that?
Pack 11

12 wade Boggs Black Border
Glad to see his hair is making a comeback.

4 Chipper Jones
The black border is defiantly better looking .

13 Wade Boggs
Not bad. Both the base and the parallel in the same pack.

11 Carl Yastrzemski
Probably one of the most unappreciated greats.

89 Roy Halladay
Gonna be a good year for this guy. As usual.
Then a mid season trade to the Yankees makes him
a quadrillionaire.

74 Luke Hochevar
Pack 11

55 Johan Santana

16 Johnathan Papelbon
You would not like him when he's angry.

38 Lance Berkman Red Border Parallel
I like these borders the best from the ones I have seen.

83 Ozzie Smith
The Wizzard. Opening days without his flips are just opening days.

95 Warren Spahn
Any Spahn card is a great card.
How can you not love that leg kick?

41 Vladimir Guerrero
I was just joking when I told Mr. I HeArt Halos
I wanted to see Vlady in SLC for a week of rehab.
So there you have it. A great looking set and a nice box break. Not too many doubles and a good mix. But what have you guys noticed?
That's right!
Mr. Reds Cards has become the go to guy for all your Cubs cards needs.
What diety have I pissed of to see Reds card after Reds card pulled by Braves fan, Cub fan, Indians fan, Mets fan and even Yankees fan?
