1997 Flair Showcase reigns as one of the most iconic 90s products of all-time. The 540 card set was broken down into 180 players, each with three cards designated as either Row 2 (Style), 1 (Grace), or 0 (Showcase). Within each row, there were 3 additional designations of Showtime, Showstopper, or Showpiece. Each combination of Row and Show have different levels of rarity with a Row 2 Showtime being the most common and a Row 0 Showpiece being the most rare.
In addition to the segmented base set, there are 100 serial numbered copies of each card dubbed “Legacy Collection”. There are some of the most popular parallel cards ever made and remain highly sought after. Furthering the pedigree of the set is the Masterpiece Collection parallel which are the first 1/1 cards ever produced. Even the most common players fetch thousands of dollars on the rare occasion of one hitting the open market.
