Description

2001 Ultimate Collection is a 120-card set, released by Upper Deck, in January 2002. The last 30 cards in the base set make up a serial-numbered "2001 Rookie" subset with five of those cards coming autographed. It was the first product to retail for $100/pack and contains one of only two (the other in 2001 SPx) autographed rookie cards of Ichiro.

Each four-card pack will yield either an autograph or a game jersey card, with each four pack Hobby box yielding one autograph serial-numbered to 150 copies or less, two game jersey cards also serial-numbered to 150 copies or less, and one Ultimate Ichiro card.

Distribution

Four packs per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $100). Hobby only.
