1995 SP
Description
1995 SP is a 207 card set. Subsets featured are SP Salute (1-4), Premier Prospects (5-24), and Checklists (25-27). All 27 subset cards are die-cut. Compared to 1993 SP and 1994 SP the long-run value of 1995 SP has been depressed due to the lack of a marquee Rookie Card, and a heavy increase in production.
The only notable Rookie Card in this set is Hideo Nomo.
Dealers who ordered a certain quantity of Upper Deck baseball cases received as a bonus, a certified autographed SP card of Ken Griffey Jr.
Distribution
Wax: 32 packs per box, eight cards per pack (MSRP: $3.50) Hobby only.

Parallels
Each of the 207 base cards are available in a SuperbaFoil parallel. The only difference between the regular 180 cards in the two sets is that the chevron of the SuperbaFoil version on the left side of the front uses rainbow-colored foil instead of blue or red. The subset cards have foil enhancements that differentiate them from the regular edition cards.
Like in 1994 SP each SuperbaFoil card has a silver (rather than gold) hologram on the back.
