=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 [[2002 UD Authentics|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.
