Comments: This was the fourth year of Upper Deck. The design was not much different from the first 3 years. I always liked this design which features a floating photograph with a shadow behind it. There was a mix of posed and action shots. The set was released in 2 series, the first of 700 cards, the second with 100 cards. The cards from the factory set feature a gold hologram. I've never seen one of those. This set featured the most inserts to date in an Upper Deck set. The cards came in 15-card foil (not Mylar coated foil, but actual foil) packs (see a wrapper below).
