A special card of Hideo Nomo (#251) was issued later in the year to those dealers who ordered a specific number of cases directly from Pinnacle Brands. Despite not being issued in packs, it is attainable and a set is complete with it; however, it is not considered a "true" rookie card.

Artist's Proof

Artist's Proof is a 250-card parallel set, seeded into 1995 Select packs at the rate of 1:24, or one-per-box. Based upon the announced print run of 4950, 24-box cases, collectors were quickly able to calculate that, although each card was not serial-numbered, only 475 copies of each Artist's Proof were produced. (This was back when a card limited to under 500 copies was still meant something.)

Like with the base set, a Hideo Nomo Artist's Proof was randomly distributed directly to Hobby dealers and never inserted in packs.
