Description

2003 Upper Deck Vintage is a 341-card set released in two series. The design of the base set bears a strong resemblance to 1965 Topps.

The first 280 cards were released as part of the Vintage product in January, 2003. 80 of the cards were short-printed with one coming about every-other pack. Each 24-pack Hobby box yields a game-used jersey card.

The final 61 cards make up an Update Series and were seeded at the rate of one-per-pack inside packs of 2003 Upper Deck 40-Man.

An incorrectly numbered Jason Jennings, originally #178, was given the same number as #28 Vernon Wells. Card #37, Eddie Mathews, was incorrectly numbered as #376.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs per box, eight cards per pack (MSRP: $2). 12 boxes per case.
