1996-97 Fleer Metal Series 2Basketball Hobby Box

Product Description

The 1996-97 Fleer Metal Series 2 Basketball Hobby Box captures one of the most legendary rookie classes in NBA history, containing 24 packs of 8 cards each with the potential to reveal debut cards from Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Stephon Marbury, and Ray Allen. The set carries Fleer Metal's signature etched foil base card design, giving every pull a genuinely distinctive, reflective finish that separated the Metal line from standard Fleer releases of the era. Collectors chasing the highly coveted Precious Metals parallel set will find those cards falling at roughly 1 in 36 packs, adding real chase appeal beyond the base rookie class alone.

Net-Rageous insert cards round out the box's premium content, arriving at a scarce rate of approximately 1 in 288 packs, making them a genuinely difficult pull even across a full case. With more than 20 rookies populating the checklist, this release remains one of the most historically significant basketball card products of the mid 1990s, anchored by a rookie class that would go on to define an entire era of the NBA. For vintage collectors and Kobe Bryant rookie card hunters alike, this Fleer Metal Series 2 box remains a genuinely important piece of basketball card history.

The 1996-97 Fleer Metal Series 2 Basketball Hobby Box was released on January 1, 1997 with a retail price of $60.
