Description
1998 SkyBox E-X2001 Baseball Factory Sealed Hobby Case - With 12 Boxes. Offered is a 1998 Fleer SkyBox E-X 2001 Baseball Hobby Case that is one of the most sought-after sealed products from the late 1990s, known for its ultra-premium card stock, acetate designs, and extremely limited parallels. This factory-sealed case contains 12 Hobby boxes, each delivering 24 packs of 2 cards, offering a total of 576 opportunities to pull some of the era's most coveted cards. Headlining the chase are the Essential Credentials Now and Essential Credentials Future parallels; two distinct, serial-numbered insert sets that are visually stunning and among the most valuable 1990s-era cards when found in Mint or Gem Mint condition. Cards of superstars like Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken Jr., Barry Bonds, and Chipper Jones in either Credentials format have sold for thousands when graded PSA 9 or 10, making this case a potential goldmine for investors and high-end collectors.Insert sets include Star Date 2001 (1:12 packs), Cheap Seat Treats (1:24 packs), Destination: Cooperstown (1:720 packs), and the highly desirable Signature 2001 autographs (1:60 packs), offering chances at on-card signatures from Hall of Famers and stars of the steroid era. The Destination: Cooperstown insert is especially notable, as it showcases players destined for Hall of Fame enshrinement and is nearly impossible to pull—making any appearance from legends like Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux, or Randy Johnson a major find. Rookies featured include future All-Stars and fan favorites like Jimmy Rollins, Mike Lowell, Troy Glaus, and Carlos Lee, all with significant upside when pulled in Mint to Gem Mint condition.
Sealed cases of 1998 E-X 2001 are almost never seen in the wild, especially with all 12 Hobby boxes untouched and intact. With the current boom in grading and investor demand for 1990s serial-numbered and acetate stock cards, this case represents both a rare collector's item and a serious opportunity to unlock high-value modern vintage cards from one of the most innovative designs of the era. The outer box presents with mild to moderate wear throughout. Factory Sealed.
Guide Value or Estimate: $60,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
