2002 Upper Deck Rookie Debut
Description
2002 Upper Deck Rookie Debut is a retail-exclusive, "bundled" update set. Like with the similarly-structured to the Hobby-only Rookie Update, there is no "Rookie Debut" set. Instead, Rookie Debut updates three 2002 UD sets released primarily to mass-market retail outlets: Honor Roll, Ovation, and Victory. And just like with Rookie Update, Rookie Debut features a number of autographs game-used cards that are not part of any of the three previously released sets.
On average, each six-card pack should yield one Ovation, two Honor Roll, and three Victory cards. Each 24-pack box should yield one game-jersey card and three, serial-numbered Ovation World Premiere cards.
Distribution
24 packs per box, six cards per pack (MSRP $1.99). Retail only.
