It was a redemption. While it is romantic to think that not all were redeemed, and for sure this is true, I'm sure all of them hit the market. Fleer sold the house when they went under, I'm sure these made it out there. However, I would guess many are lost in closets of mom's house, ruined due to poor storage, or just forgotten about.

That would be true if/when all of these actual cards were signed in advance.
Now this could simply be my imagination, but do you think that it is possible that these cards were signed after Fleer determined the number of redemption actually received/redeemed?
