2008 Upper Deck Heroes
Description
2008 Upper Deck Heroes is a 200-card set released in the summer of 2008. Like the 2005 Upper Deck Heroes, the design of the base set is almost identical to the Baseball Heroes inserts of the early 1990s.
The set is best known for the extreme, for its day, number of parallels (11).
Each Hobby box is expected to yield one autograph and three memorabilia cards.
Distribution
Hobby: 24 packs per box, eight cards per pack.
