Exclusive to Hobby packs, this parallel is serial-numbered to 50 copies each. Contrary to the belief of some collectors, Precious Metal Gems parallels of the three checklists (#218-#220) were produced, pack-inserted, and have sold on the secondary market for years.

45 copies of each Precious Metal Gems parallel (cards serial-numbered 1-45) were seeded into Hobby packs; while five "Ultimate Gems" redemption cards were randomly seeded into packs. Each Ultimate Gems card could be redeemed for the entire Precious Metal Gems set with matching serial numbers.
