Parallels
Gold
All 330 base cards are available in a one-per-pack Gold parallel. Each card is printed on a thicker gauge of cardstock and can be seen as an anti-packsearching device. The facsimile signature on the front is stamped in gold foil.
Uncirulated Silver
Each sealed Hobby wax and HTA Jumbo box contained inside a silver box topper pack, an Uncirculated Silver parallel serial-numbered to 250 copies. As the name suggests, each card was issued in it's own sealed holder, not unlike the eTopps cards of the era.
Randomly inserted into boxes, in lieu of a Uncirculated Silver card were redemption cards good for the entire Uncirculated Silver set. These cards could be redeemed until April 30th, 2004.
Uncirculated Metallic Gold
Along with the Uncirculated Silver parallel, each silver box topper pack contained an redemption card good for an Uncirculated Metallic Gold parallel. In order to claim their Uncirulated Metallic Gold card, collectors would have to enter a code on thepit.com printed on the back of the redemption card. (thepit.com was a baseball card trading website Topps owned at the time.) There was no mention on the redemption card as to what cards the collector would get; you got whatever thepit.com gave you. Uncirculated Metallic Gold redemption cards were also randomly inserted into retail packs.
Collectors could then choose to keep their Uncirculated Metallic Gold card with thepit.com, or, for a nominal shipping and handling fee, have the card delivered.
Unlike the Uncirculated Silver cards, Uncirculated Metallic Gold cards only exist for the 165 Rookies and Prospects (cards #166-#330). The stated print run for these cards was 230 copies; however, none of the cards are serial-numbered -- take that for what it's worth.

Dual
This autographed card features a pair Minor League prospects, who also happened to play quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Neither amounted to much in either sport. Ironically, the third-string quarterback for the Cowboys that season was an undrafted rookie named Tony Romo.
