Parallels

All 450 base cards are available in the following parallels.

Museum Collection
Artist's Proof

Seven Series Two Museum Collection cards (#410, 413, 416, 420, 423, 426 and 444) were available only with randomly inserted trade cards. These trade cards expired Dec. 31, 1995. Due to a low response of mailing, these seven cards are by far the toughest to find in this set.
