1996 Upper Deck is a 510-card set released in two series of 240 cards and a 30 card Update set.  The 30-card Update sets (U481-U510) were available through a Series Two wrapper exchange program.  In addition, for the first time since 1993, Upper Deck issued 15,000 serial-numbered factory sets (containing all 510 cards) and 5000 "wood box" factory sets at season's end.  


The only Rookie Card of note is Livan Hernandez.  
This set was notable for being the first in the Hobby to introduce the one-card-per-pack concept that is still seen in Modern Hobby releases.

15,000 Factory Sets.
'''NOTE:''' Despite producing a limited number of factory sets, the cards inside are no different that the cards found in packs.  (e.g. the cards do NOT have a special stamp, special cardstock, or different colored hologram like the 1992 and 1993 UD Factory Sets.)  Since UD did not include any exclusive inserts, the factory sets carry no special premium over a hand-collated set.

Predictor is a 120-card set where collectors could compete for special 10-card parallel exchange sets.  If the player depicted won the award category for any calendar month during the 1996 season, that player's Predictor could then be redemmed for a special 10-card foil parallel set of all ten players in that card's subset.   
Predictor is a 120-card set where collectors could win special ten-card parallel exchange sets.  If the player depicted won the award category for any calendar month during the 1996 season, that player's Predictor could then be redeemed for a special ten-card foil parallel set of all ten players in that card's subset.  Each subset consisted of nine players and a "Long Shot."  If none of the nine designated players won, then the Long Shot card was declared the winner.  It should be noted that all twelve Long Shots were winners.


Winner cards are signified with a W in our listings and are in noticeably shorter supply since they had to be mailed in to Upper Deck (where they were destroyed) to claim your exchange cards. The deadline to mail in winning cards was November 18th, 1996.

Description

1996 Upper Deck is a 510-card set released in two series of 240 cards and a 30 card Update set. The 30-card Update sets (U481-U510) were available through a Series Two wrapper exchange program. In addition, for the first time since 1993, Upper Deck issued 15,000 serial-numbered factory sets (containing all 510 cards) and 5000 "wood box" factory sets at season's end.

This set was notable for being the first in the Hobby to introduce the one-card-per-pack concept that is still seen in Modern Hobby releases.

The only Rookie Card of note is Livan Hernandez.

Distribution

Hobby: 28 packs per box, 10 cards per pack (MSRP: $1.99).

Retail: 32 packs per box, 12 cards per pack.

Tech: 20 packs, eight UD cards plus one Diamond Destiny insert per pack. Exclusive to Wal-Mart.

Factory Sets: 15,000 factory sets were produced.

Wood Box Factory Set: 5000 factory sets produced.

NOTE: Despite producing a limited number of factory sets, the cards inside are no different that the cards found in packs. (e.g. the cards do NOT have a special stamp, special cardstock, or different colored hologram like the 1992 and 1993 UD Factory Sets.) Since UD did not include any exclusive inserts, the factory sets carry no special premium over a hand-collated set.

Predictor

Predictor is a 120-card set where collectors could win special ten-card parallel exchange sets. If the player depicted won the award category for any calendar month during the 1996 season, that player's Predictor could then be redeemed for a special ten-card foil parallel set of all ten players in that card's subset. Each subset consisted of nine players and a "Long Shot." If none of the nine designated players won, then the Long Shot card was declared the winner. It should be noted that all twelve Long Shots were winners.

Winner cards are signified with a W in our listings and are in noticeably shorter supply since they had to be mailed in to Upper Deck (where they were destroyed) to claim your exchange cards. The deadline to mail in winning cards was November 18th, 1996.
