Description

2004 Upper Deck First Pitch is a 300-card set released to retail outlets in February. Similar to Topps's Opening Day brand, First Pitch is a stripped-down rendition of the 2004 Upper Deck flagship brand. The first 270 cards parallel the 270-card 2004 Upper Deck Series One base set -- but with the addition of a "First Pitch" logo on the front.

The final 30 cards (#271-#300) are a selection of cards from the 2004 Upper Deck Series Two Star Rookies subset, and are short-printed.

Distribution

36 packs per box, five cards per pack. 20 boxes per case. Retail only.
