2000 Fleer Focus
Focus. What exactly is focus? Something that’s clearer?
Something that’s more important? Both?
If the point of Focus is to highlight a player, isn’t that
the point of every card? To focus on the subject player? If you’re not focusing
on a player I don’t think you’re doing a very good job with the card.
This one does do a decent job of that. The clean white of
the border spills into the design of the card as well. That really makes the
rest of the card pop. Pedro has a while divine glow about him as he gets ready
to fool another hitter. The blue on Pedro’s cap and sleeves carry a theme with
the blue cap on the bottom and the Fleer logo. Pedro’s name is in that annoying
foil, but at least it’s tucked out of the way. Sort of an odd font choice for
something that’s supposed to be in focus. I would have expected something
easier to read.
So there’s nothing special here, even though Fleer tries to
convince us otherwise. It’s not the worst set Fleer put out in 2000, but it’s
certainly not anything that would make me anxiously away the release of 2001
Focus.
It’s just another card.
