This card was originally pulled from production as it didn't get licensed. A hand full made their way into packs. Originally, Fleer had no knowledge of this card getting out as I was told, "Larsen cards were not intended to be released. To the best of our knowledge none of the Larsens were packed out."

After contacting Fleer a month later, I got this statement: "Also, regarding Larsen, it is extremely shot. We tried to delete it from the set because the relatively low number of cards we yielded from scraps of their garments (scraps from 2000 Greats Yankee Clippings). Since my records show the card as being removed from the run, these were cards that missed our facility's quality control. I would guess that less than 10 Larsens are in circulation."

Since then, these cards were sent out at random as fleer redemption replacements.
