Dean's List Jersey Card[edit]

Each player in the 29-card set (except one) has two jersey cards; one in which the jersey is in the shape of his first initial, the other in the shape of his last initial. Sammy Sosa has only one card in this set, for obvious reasons.

NOTE: The swatch on Hideki Matsui's Dean's List base card (#131) is in the shape of an "R".
