2005 Upper Deck Pros & Prospects
Description
2005 Upper Deck Pros & Prospects is a 200-card set released primarily to mass-market retail outlets in May, 2005. The first 100 cards make up the "Pros" while the last 100 are the "Prospects." Each Prospect is serial-numbered to 999 copies or less, and each 24-pack box will yield only three. Each box will also yield an autograph and three serial-numbered parallels.
Despite the massive number of "prospects," there are no rookie cards of significance in the set.
Distribution
24 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: $3). 20 boxes per case. Retail only.
