While 1/1 parallels are commonplace today, in the late '90s they were still a novelty. Fleer helped pioneer the concept of the minimum print run with parallels such as the Masterpiece Edition cards they included in their popular Ultra releases. The 1998 Ultra football checklist included two Peyton Manning rookie cards. Card #201 seen here was part of Series 1, with another Manning RC at card #416 of Series 2. That meant two chances to land a now-coveted 1/1 Manning Masterpiece. With the Series 2 card hitting the auction block last month in the August Premier Auction, this could be the last chance you have to make a play for a 1/1 Masterpiece Edition Manning rookie for quite a while.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 09/03/2024.
