[[2002 Upper Deck MVP]] is a 301-card set released in May, 2002. Card #301 was added very late in the production run; however, it was not short-printed. Every other Hobby box will yield a game-used card.
[[2002 Topps American Pie]] is a 150-card set released in May, 2002. Dubbed the "Spirit of America Edition," the checklist features a mix of retired baseball players, celebrities, and historical events. There are no active players in the set, and as such, is not licensed by the MLBPA.
