4 PACK
CHELSEA 2000/01

Corinthian experienced great success with the 1999/00 team packs, however the feedback from collectors was that there was a little too much product released at once and from too few teams, so Corinthian addressed this by releasing 10 different 4 player packs, with their release being just in time for Christmas.

 

​

The Chelsea 4 pack contained Dennis wise in away kit, this was the same sculpt as we saw in the Chelsea 1999/00 team pack, joined by John Harley also in away kit. Harley was first released as a redemption figure for ProStars Series 9, however only 500 of those were made, so this gave collectors a much easier way of obtaining a Harley figure.

 

​

Completing the pack are 2 players in Chelsea 2000/01 home kit, both were first time sculpts and would be used for all subsequent releases, they are Eidur Gudjohnsen and Mario Melchiot.

 

​

Corinthian also produced Platinum Packs for this release, with only 90 of each being made, the vast majority of which went to Beatties stores, so finding them now in good condition can be a difficult task, as they are more often than not yellowed from sun damage. As only 90 of each were made they are highly sought after amongst dedicated Platinum Pack collectors, and seldom appear for sale.

 

​

Each 4 pack came with 4 figures, which were a mixture of home and away kits, the first time Corinthian had done this, 4 collector cards and a Stamford Bridge display stand, with the pack being priced at £10.
