Oversized

In addition, these five cards were also available in two different 3" X 5" and 5" X 7" formats.

There were two 3X5 sets. In one version the cards were sold individually, in a four-screw screwdown holder to mass market retail outlets. These cards have a gold foil facsimile signature on the front, and are serial-numbered to 5000 copies on the back. The other version was sold as a five-card boxed set to mass market retail outlets. These cards do NOT have the facsimilia signature, and are not serial-numbered.

As for the 5X7 sets, one set was made available as part of a wrapper redemption program, while the other were issued as box toppers in specially-marked Series One Blaster boxes. The only difference between the two sets is that the Blaster inserts have the Collector's Choice logo on the front, while the wrapper redemption cards does not -- just the Upper Deck logo.

Crash the Game Exchange

This 30-card set was redeemable two ways through the Crash the Game contest. Each player hitting a home run during the dates specified on the game cards (see above) was exchangeable for an upgraded version of that same player. However, only 22 of the 30 players were winners. The remaining eight short-printed cards were only available with a Crash the Game Instant Win card (inserted one per 721 packs), which was redeemable for a complete 30-card upgraded set.
