NOTE: All 265 Series One base cards have two variations.

Prime Choice Reserve

Prime Choice Reserve is an 18-card partial parallel of the Series Two Rookie Class subset (numbers 415-432). Upper Deck added the cards at last minute. Each card is serial numbered to 500 on back.

Inserts

Crash the Game

These 90 different game cards were randomly seed at a rate of 1:5 exclusively into second series packs. Thirty different sluggers were each featured on three different cards, with one of three different game dates printed on front. If the featured player hit a home run during the series specified on the card front, the collector could mail the card in prior to the December 1st, 1998 deadline for a special upgraded Crash the Game Exchange card of their player.

Instant Winners

Randomly seeded at a rate of 1:721 Series Two packs, these thirty different cards could be exchanged prior to the December 1st, 1998 deadline for a complete 30-card set of upgraded Crash the Game inserts. Instant Win cards are very similar in design to the far more common Crash the Game cards also inserted in second series packs. The big difference is the special "Instant Win" logo on the card front that replaces the game dates.

It's important to note, that several of the thirty upgraded Crash cards (those players that lost all three times on their basic game dates) received in exchange for these Instant Win cards were available only through this method, creating some very tough short print cards within the Crash the Game Exchange set for a temporary period of time.

Unfortunately, in late 2003, a large volume of these sets appeared on the secondary market, decimating the previously established value of these once tough parallel insert cards.
