[[1966 Bazooka]] is a 48-card set printed in three-card panels on the sides of boxes of Bazooka gum. Each cut-out card measures 1 9/16" X 2 1/2", while three-card panels measure 2 1/2" X 4 11/16". Uncut panels and whole boxes command a premium over cut-out single cards.


[[1999 Skybox Molten Metal]] is a 150-card set released in July 1999. The set is fractured into three subsets: Metal Smiths (cards 1-100) Heavy Metal subset (101-130, one-per-pack), and Supernatural (#131-#150, 1:2/packs). The cards are printed on 24-point foil-board cardstock.
The design is identical to the previous year's set, with the exception of the cards being sequentially-numbered "NO. X of 48 CARDS" on the front.
 
A special edition of Molten Metal, with an exclusive Atlanta Braves-centric insert, was available to dealers who set up at the 1999 National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlanta.
