'''Notes''':
* There are '''''two different serial-numbering methods''''' used throughout the set: a traditional '''"stamp"''' method which was impressed into the card and a '''"print"''' method that utilized a dot-matrix printer.
* The '''"stamp"''' serial-numbering method was utilized primarily on Series One inserts and parallels and can be seen on the Series One Exclusives (both Levels), Wonder Years, Immaculate Perception, and 10th Anniversary Team sets.
* The '''"print"''' serial-numbering method was utilized primarily on Series Two inserts and parallels and can be seen on the Series Two Exclusives (both Levels), Textbook Excellence, Forte, and View to a Thrill sets.
* Some Level 2 Exclusives from Series One have surfaced without the "1/1" foil stamp on the back.  Collectors surmise they were mailed out by Upper Deck as replacements for damaged cards, which was common practice at the time.

Inserted into specially-marked Blasters, these ten 5" X 7" cards are reprints of Ken Griffey, Jr's previous Upper Deck base cards. 
Randomly inserted into Blasters -- at the rate of 1:64 -- are autographs (see below).

It's unclear exactly how these reprints of Ken Griffey, Jr.'s landmark [[1989 Upper Deck]] rookie card were distributed. (Any assistance would be appreciated)  Unlike the Blaster box set, these cards are foil stamped, with the "baseline" that runs along the right side of the card stamped in silver foil.  In addition, there are three parallels.
* Blue Foil (serial-numbered to 3500 copies)
* Gold Foil (serial-numbered to 1000 copies)
* Autographed Gold Foil

===Ken Griffey, Jr. 1989 Autographed Buyback===
Upper Deck had Ken Griffey, Jr. autograph 100 copies of his landmark 1989 Upper Deck card, and inserted them into Series One packs.  To differentiate this card from an ordinary 89 UD card (and to confirm the authenticity of Griffey's autograph), each card contained an additional hologram.
===10th Anniversary Sweepstakes===
Randomly inserted into Series One packs were exchange cards good for various Upper Deck 10th Anniversary prizes.  The Grand Prize being a one-on-one personal batting lesson from Ken Griffey, Jr.  All cards have long since expired.
Upper Deck accidentally inserted three batting lesson cards, as opposed to only one.  All three winners were able to meet Griffey, but none received the batting lesson.

===Ken Griffey, Jr. Santa Card===
A card of Ken Griffey, Jr wearing a red velvet "Santa" hat was mailed out to Hobby dealers, collectors on UD's mailing list, and to Upper Deck employees.  The card features a swatch of the Santa hat Griffey wore for the photo shoot.

Description

1999 Upper Deck is a 525 card set released in two series of 255 and 270 cards, respectively. Series One was released in December, 1998; while Series Two in May, 1999. With this set, Upper Deck celebrated their 10th Anniversary, and many of the inserts are based around this event.

Between the two series, there is a gap of ten cards; meaning, that Series Two begins with card #266 and cards #256-#265 do not exist.

It is believed -- but never confirmed by Upper Deck -- that the subset cards may have been slightly short-printed.

Distribution

Hobby/Retail: 24 packs per box, 10 cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99).

NOTE: Series One Hobby boxes contain 23 packs plus one 1989 Upper Deck Hi-Series pack.

Notes:

  • There are two different serial-numbering methods used throughout the set: a traditional "stamp" method which was impressed into the card and a "print" method that utilized a dot-matrix printer.
  • The "stamp" serial-numbering method was utilized primarily on Series One inserts and parallels and can be seen on the Series One Exclusives (both Levels), Wonder Years, Immaculate Perception, and 10th Anniversary Team sets.
  • The "print" serial-numbering method was utilized primarily on Series Two inserts and parallels and can be seen on the Series Two Exclusives (both Levels), Textbook Excellence, Forte, and View to a Thrill sets.
  • Some Level 2 Exclusives from Series One have surfaced without the "1/1" foil stamp on the back. Collectors surmise they were mailed out by Upper Deck as replacements for damaged cards, which was common practice at the time.

It's unclear exactly how these reprints of Ken Griffey, Jr.'s landmark 1989 Upper Deck rookie card were distributed. (Any assistance would be appreciated) Unlike the Blaster box set, these cards are foil stamped, with the "baseline" that runs along the right side of the card stamped in silver foil. In addition, there are three parallels.

  • Blue Foil (serial-numbered to 3500 copies)
  • Gold Foil (serial-numbered to 1000 copies)
  • Autographed Gold Foil
