2001 SPx
Description
2001 SPx is a 210-card set released in two series by Upper Deck. The first 150 cards were issued as part of the SPx product in May, 2001. 30 cards (#91-#120) make up the "Young Stars" subset, with each serial-numbered to 2000 copies. The final 30 cards are the "Rookie Jersey" cards, with the last 15 sporting an autograph. Each 18-pack Hobby box will yield one Rookie Jersey card and one Winning Materials card and also contains a three-card pack from the 2001 Upper Deck Pinstripe Exclusives Joe DiMaggio set.
The final 60 cards were randomly inserted into packs of 2001 Upper Deck Rookie Update. The last 30 cards (#181-210) are a second batch of "Young Stars", with each serial-numbered to 1500 -- the last five being autographed.
Distribution
18 packs plus one three-card Joe DiMaggio Pinstripe Exclusives pack per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $6.99). Hobby only.
