Description

2003 UD Authentics is a 140-card set released in two series by Upper Deck. The first 130 cards were issued as part of the UD Authentics set in August, 2003, and drastically differs from the previous year's product. Each 10-pack Hobby box came packages with an autographed 11" X 14" framed memorabilia print. The final 30 cards on the base set are the "Rookie Hype" subset, and each is serial-numbered to 999 copies.

The final 10 cards were seeded into Hobby boxes of 2003 Upper Deck Finite. Each Finite Series card is serial-numbered to only 150 copies.

Distribution

UD Authentics Series: 10 packs plus one autographed framed memorabilia piece per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $12.50). Six boxes per case, Hobby only.
