2004 Upper Deck

From BaseballCardPedia.com


Description

2004 Upper Deck is a 590-card set released in three series. Series One consists of a 270-card base set and was released in November, 2003. It is supplemented by the 270-card Series Two set that was released in May and a 50-card Update set was packaged into 2005 Upper Deck Series One Hobby boxes.

Each 24-pack Series One Hobby box yielded two game used cards and a 60-card 2003 Upper Deck Update factory set. Series Two Hobby boxes also contained 24 packs, and included one of four 50-card Update sets (Vintage, Play Ball, Reflections, or SP Game Used Patch).

High Gloss Factory Set

For the first time since 1996, Upper Deck's flagship product was released as a factory set. The set came packaged in a hardwood case (not unlike UD's 2000 Yankees & Dodgers Master Collections) and features all 540 Series One and Series Two cards, plus a redemption card good for the 50-card Update set. Each card, including the Updates, is covered with a special glossy coating which is even shinier than the UV-gloss Upper Deck normally uses.

Each factory set also came with a special Derek Jeter Bonus Pack. Each Bonus Pack contained three cards from a 25-card Derek Jeter set. In addition, every tenth Jeter Bonus Pack contains either A) A game-used Jeter jersey card serial-numbered to 99 copies; B) A Derek Jeter autographed card serial-numbered to 50; or C) An autographed and game-used Jeter jersey card serial-numbered to ten.

Only 9930 "High Gloss Factory Sets" were produced.

Due to the lack of "true" rookies in either series and the relatively long odds of pulling a Jeter "hit," the High Gloss Factory Set did not sell well and was discontinued after one year.

Inserts

First Pitch

NOTES:

  • As per his contract, Gordie Howe is referred to as "Mr. Hockey" on card #SP8.
  • Card #SP9 was not produced. It is believed that #SP9 was to have been of long-time Milwaukee Brewers play-by-play announcer and actor Bob Uecker, but Uecker had signed an exclusive contract with Topps.
