	In an effort to premier their new ~~Power Deck~~ Audio technology, Upper Deck created three special Ken Griffey, Jr. "cards" (blue, green and silver backgrounds). Each "card" was actually a die-cut audio CD that contained the same five minute interview with the Mariner's superstar. These "cards" were randomly seeded exclusively into specially marked Series One Hobby boxes, comprising only 10 percent of the print run. The seeding ratios are as follows: blue 1:46, teal 1:500 and silver 1:2400. Each test issue box contained a clear CD disc for which the card could be placed upon for playing on any common CD player. To play the card, the center hole had to be punched out.
