2004 Upper Deck New Era Tip Of The Cap
Description[edit]
Working in conjunction with Upper Deck, The New Era Cap Company issued a 30-card set at the 2004 MLB All-Star Weekend (Houston). One card representing every MLB team. Card backs gave advice to young players on how to improve their baseball skills.
Distribution[edit]
Sealed cellophane packs contained 4 cards - three player cards and one UD filler. 288 lucky recipients found their standard filler replaced with an Instant Win card notifying them that they had won a 2003 World Series Champion Florida Marlins AC cap
Reviews[edit]
Most card fronts were identical to Upper Deck's 2004 base issue. However, several player cards used different imagery. Notably, any base UD issue which was horizontally formatted is cropped for a vertical display. e.g. Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson.
Insertion Ratios[edit]
