Infieldhits: /* Parallels */

=Description=

2006 Upper Deck Special F/X is a 1007-card [[Parallel Brand|parallel brand]] released in January, 2007. The first 1000 card parallel the first two series of [[2006 Upper Deck]] with the final seven cards featuring selected rookies from 2006 Upper Deck Update. The design is identical to 2006 Upper Deck, except it is printed on chromium stock -- not unlike Topps Chrome.

The provisional checklist issued by Upper Deck showed a 1025-card set; however, it appears that cards 1008-1025 weren't issued.

=Distribution=

16 packs per box, four cards per pack.

The checklist for the first 1000 cards is identical to that of the [[2006 Upper Deck]] base set. For brevity's sake, please refer to that set's article.

<sql2wiki database="carddb">
SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '2006') AND (setname='Upper Deck Special FX') AND (num BETWEEN 1001 AND 1007)
ORDER BY num +0 ASC;
</sql2wiki>
===Non-Existent Cards===

The following cards were on the checklist issued by Upper Deck, but were never produced.

All 1007 base cards are available in the following parallels.

* Blue (not serial-numbered; rumored print run of 25)
* Purple (serial-numbered to 150 copies)
* Green (serial-numbered to 99 copies)
* Red (serial-numbered to 50 copies)

The Blue parallels are notably difficult to find. Many collectors believe the stated pack odds are not accurate for the Blue parallels.
