O/A FLEER 2006-07 HOT PROSPECTS NBA TRADING CARDS Fleer's Hot Prospects series is geared toward mid- to high-range collectors who specialize in rookie card speculation, or those looking for the "big hit."

Hot Prospects has been a hobby favorite since its introduction, especially with hardcore rookie collectors and speculators. And this year’s release should be no different, with autographed rookie cards falling at least one per box, with over half of the boxes having an autographed memorabilia card! Add in another autograph and a memorabilia card, and you'll see why Hot Prospects will be the release that will continue to be chased throughout the season and beyond! Each box will yield one (1) autographed rookie, one (1) autographed insert or parallel, and one (1) memorabilia card. "Draft Day Postmarks" return — autographed rookie cards stamped and postmarked from the 2006 NBA Draft in NYC! There are seven (7) hits per box including autographs, memorabilia, rookie cards, parallels or inserts. All of this makes ’06 Hot Prospects a hot prospect!
