Description
1997 Select is a 200-card set released in two series of 150 and 50 cards. The 150-card "Lo-Series" set, released in April 1997, contains 100 "Red" cards and 50 "Blue" cards -- which are short-printed and seeded at the rate of one-per-pack.
A "Hi-Number" Series was issued in December 1997. Similar to the hi-number cards released in the early days of Upper Deck, 1997 Select Hi-Number re-issued all 150 "Low-Series" cards, and added an additional 50 cards. Each five-card Hi-Series pack contained two Lo-Series Red cards, one Lo-Series Blue card, one Hi-Number card, and a "Select Company" parallel.
The lone notable rookie card is of Mark Kotsay who is in the Hi-Number series.
Distribution
Lo/Hi Series: 24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99).

Parallels
Select Company
Randomly inserted one in every Select Hi-Series pack, this 200-card set is parallels the Select base set. The difference is found in the full foil card stock with puffed ink accented highlights.
NOTE: All Hi-Series base cards accidentally had the words "Select Company" printed on them. Hi-Number base cards were printed on etched foil, whereas the Select Company parallels were printed on a coarse "frosted" foil.
Registered Gold
This 150-card set parallels the entire Lo-Series set. These cards were available in both Lo and Hi-Series packs, but Registered Gold cards for the 50 Hi-Numbers do not exist.
Artist's Proofs
This 150-card set parallels the entire Lo-Series set. Like the Registered Gold parallels, Artist's Proofs were available in both Lo and Hi-Series packs, but cards for the 50 Hi-Numbers do not exist.
Inserts
Tools of the Trade
This set matches 25 young players with 25 veteran superstars printed back-to-back on a double-fronted full silver foil card stock with gold foil stamping. Tools of the Trade cards were randomly inserted into both series packs.
