Promo

This Ken Griffey, Jr. card was distributed to dealers and to The Hobby media several weeks prior to the product's release. This card is serial numbered "0000/0000" on front, has the word "SAMPLE" pasted across the back in red ink and is oddly numbered "24 East." Originally, Upper Deck had intended to distribute 1999 SPx regionally, in a matter similar to the regional inserts in 1994 Upper Deck.
