1998 Skybox E-X2001 Derek Jeter Graded Card #7 Essential Credentials Future 15/94 – PSA MINT 9

Presented is a very rare 1998 Skybox E-X2001 Derek Jeter Graded Card #7 Essential Credentials Future. The card is numbered on the back 15/94. It was encapsulated and graded PSA MINT 9.

1998 E-X 2001 was produced by Fleer/SkyBox and was a 100-card set distributed exclusively to Hobby outlets. Continuing with this brand’s theme of depth established from previous years, each base card was again multi-layered; however, in contrast to last year, the 1998 set utilized more acetate and the different layers were more visible. The result: The top layer featured the player photo over a silver, holographic “shading”-foil design that resembled the 1998 Flair Showcase Row 1 design and covered roughly 1/3 of the card. The middle layer was all acetate and featured a colored, curved opaque portion in the middle of the card that accented a player’s team colors and a completely transparent, uncolored portion where the “E-X 2001” logo, nameplate, team, and jersey number were housed in gold foil. The bottom layer was exclusive to the card backs and did not feature any foil variations.

The serial-numbering for the Essential Credentials Future parallel was determined by subtracting the player’s card number in the base set from 101. Again, due to the arrangement of players in the base set, the top current stars were featured first while the young stars were featured last – thus, the potential “Future” stars of the game featured the lowest serial-numbering in the Essential Credentials Future set.

Essential Credentials Future featured a neon magenta-purple theme finish to the card. For each player in this parallel, the silver, holographic “shading” foil from the base design was holographic neon purple, the opaque acetate portion was neon red, and the transparent acetate portion was magenta. “Essential Credentials Future” was also printed in black text on the transparent acetate portion of the card front and the serial number was on the back.
