Description
1998 Upper Deck is a 751-card set issued in three series of 270, 270 and 211 cards. The third series is officially known as the "Rookie Edition." As a unique addition, each card fronts features game dated photographs of some of the season's most memorable moments.
The following subsets are contained within the set: History in the Making (1-8/361-369), Griffey's Hot List (9-18), Define the Game (136-153), Season Highlights (244-252/532-540/748-750), Star Rookies (253-288/541-600), Postseason Headliners (415-432), Upper Echelon (451-459) and Eminent Prestige (601-630). The Eminent Prestige subset cards were unintentionally short-printed (approximately 1:4 packs) and Upper Deck offered a free service to collectors trying to finish their sets whereby 18 random Eminent Prestige cards were mailed to collectors who sent in proof of purchase of one-and-a-half Rookie Edition boxes.
There are two different versions of 681. About half the cards depict Mike Piazza as a New York Met while the other half commemorate Piazza's one week stint as a Florida Marlin. The Rookie Edition Series set is considered complete with both versions.
Notable Rookie Cards include Gabe Kapler and Magglio Ordonez.
Distribution
24 packs per box, 12 cards per pack (MSRP: $1.99).

Parallels
5 X 7 Blow-Ups
This 35-card parallel set captures a selection of players taken from each of the three series of 1998 Upper Deck. Besides the obvious difference in size, these cards also lack the foil stamping on front that the standard 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" cards have. The first fifteen cards checklisted below comprise the Series One Blow Up set. These first series jumbo cards were available only via redemption from Upper Deck. Collector's had to send in ten first series wrappers plus $3 to the UD redemption center.
The next ten cards checklisted below comprise the Series Two 5 x 7 Blow Up set. These second series jumbo cards were available only in specially marked mass market retail Series Two Blaster boxes (carrying an $11.99 SRP). Each box contained five Series Two packs and one 5 x 7 Blow Up. Series Two 3 1/2 by 5 inch cards may also exist: http://sanjosefuji.blogspot.com/2022/03/an-unsolved-mystery.html
The third series 5 x 7 Blow Ups (numbered between 605 and 620 in the listings below) are comprised of selected stars from the Eminent Prestige subset within the Rookie Edition set.

Inserts
Griffey's Home Run Chronicles
This 56-card set commemorates each of Ken Griffey Jr.'s American League leading 56 home runs from his 1997 season. The first 30 cards were randomly inserted into Series One packs, while cards 31-56 were in Series Two. The design is identical to that of the 10th Anniversary Preview inserts. Each card is notated on the back with what date each homer was hit. Series Two cards feature photos from the actual games in which the homers were hit.
For brevity's sake, since all cards feature Ken Griffey, Jr. we have chosen not to list each individual card.
10th Anniversary Preview
Randomly inserted in Series One packs, this 60-card set features a design similar to the inaugural 1989 Upper Deck series. The backs carry a photo of a previous Upper Deck card of that player. A 10th Anniversary Ballot was inserted into every fourth Series One pack which allowed the collector to vote for the players they wanted to see in a proposed 1999 Upper Deck tenth anniversary set. The set was canceled, and instead became an insert in 1999 Upper Deck Series One.
Upper Deck also released a "Preview Edition" factory set to selected retail outlets. The Preview Edition contained a complete set of all 60 10th Anniversary cards, as well as 200 randomly selected 1997 Collector's Choice base cards and sold for $19.99. The difference between the two sets are the words "PREVIEW EDITION" printed on the side of each card.

Power Deck
In an effort to premier their new Power Deck Audio technology, Upper Deck created three special Ken Griffey, Jr. "cards" (blue, green and silver backgrounds). Each "card" was actually a die-cut audio CD that contained the same five minute interview with the Mariner's superstar. These "cards" were randomly seeded exclusively into specially marked Series One Hobby boxes, comprising only 10 percent of the print run. The seeding ratios are as follows: blue 1:46, teal 1:500 and silver 1:2400. Each test issue box contained a clear CD disc for which the card could be placed upon for playing on any common CD player. To play the card, the center hole had to be punched out.

Rookie Edition
Randomly seeded into Rookie Edition packs, each of these cards featured a jersey swatch embedded on the card. The design is identical to that of the Series Two cards; however, the "window" where the bat chip was located in the second series is now just a design element. Each Rookie Edition Jersey card were machine-serial numbered on the back to the specific run
Griffey A Piece of the Action Autographed
Ken Griffey, Jr. signed 24 of these cards, creating one of the most notable cards of his ever made and marked the first time an autographed, game-used card had ever been produced in the baseball Hobby. Griffey's autographed A Piece of the Action jersey card was also one of the first ever game-used autographed cards in the Hobby overall. He autographed across his lower body in thin, bright blue sharpie and featured a distinct hand-numbering on the back.
Notably though, Griffey's autographed version has suffered from poor and unfortunate quality control as there are now six different versions of his autograph version that exist:
- Pack pulled /24: on-card, authentic, dark blue period-appropriate auto (late-90s), hand numbered in thin blue sharpie by original hand-numbering author with “personally autographed” text on back of card
- Unnumbered Damage replacement: on-card, authentic, dark blue period-appropriate auto (late-90s), not hand numbered/blank, with “personally autographed” text on back of card
- Questionable Damage Replacement (specifically number 2/24): on-card, authentic, dark blue period-appropriate auto (late-90s), hand numbered in thick black sharpie by different hand-numbering author than pack-pulled (this is questionable part), with “personally autographed” text on back of card
- IP Autograph /300 (specifically PSA cert #81834382): on-card, authentic, lighter not-period appropriate auto (post-playing days) in correct autograph spot, machine stamped /300 on back, with no “personally autographed" text on card back - this version was not due to poor Upper Deck quality control and instead exists from a collector sending in a base /300 Griffey jersey card to get autographed by Griffey or getting it autographed in-person.
- Error version /300: on-card, authentic, dark blue period-appropriate auto (late-90s), hand numbered in thin black sharpie /300 on back, with “personally autographed” text on back of card
- Error version /24: on-card, authentic, dark blue period-appropriate auto (late-90s), hand numbered in thin blue sharpie by original hand-numbering author, without “personally autographed” text on back of card
