Retro Lucky 13

Retro Lucky 13 features 50 players who were all selected with a top 13 pick in the MLB First-Year Player Draft. These cards are all short-printed and seeded into packs at the rate of 1:4.

Kenji Johjima Exchange Card

A late edition to the product, randomly inserted into packs was an exchange for Kenji Johjima. Lucky collectors who pulled the card had until May 25, 2008 to redeem it. Upper Deck also said that only 5000 Johjima exchange cards were printed; however, neither the exchange card nor the actual Johjima card are serial-numbered.
