Description

2000 Aurora is a 151-card set released by Pacific Trading Cards in March, 2000. This set is notable as it contains the first trading card of Ken Griffey, Jr. as a Cincinnati Red. As a result, there are two cards sequentially-numbered #133. Both Griffey's appear to have been printed in about the same quantities of any other base card, and as such a set is considered "complete" with both #133s.

Distribution

Hobby: 36 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99).
