e-Card
Randomly inserted into Hobby boxes as a two-pack box-topper, this six-card insert features cards with a code that when entered onto a special Upper Deck website, adds a corresponding "virtual" card to the collector's "virtual" collection. In addition, randomly selected e-Cards can "e-Volve" into autographed and game jersey cards.
Unlike the e-Cards that were distributed in 2000 Upper Deck Series Two, the code is concealed by a silver bar that must be scratched off.
The website for the e-Card program was discontinued in 2004.

e-Volve Jersey Card
Participants in Upper Deck's e-Card program could receive special e-Volved Jersey cards by entering the code printed on the front of each e-Card. When the code was entered, and a jersey card of the depicted player appeared, the bearer of the base card could then exchange their "virtual" e-Card and receive the Game Jersey upgrade via mail.
The design closely mimics the 2000 Upper Deck Game Jersey inserts except for the gold foil "e-Volve" logo on front. Each e-Volve Jersey Card is hand-numbered to 300 copies and are sequentially-numbered with an "eJ" prefix.
An autographed version of each card is also available. Each card is hand-numbered to 50 copies and has an "eS" prefix.

When the code was entered, and an autographed card of the depicted player appeared, the bearer of the base card could then exchange their "virtual" e-Card and receive the autographed card upgrade via mail.
Unlike the e-Volve Jersey cards, the design is completely original. Each e-Volve Autograph is hand-numbered to 200 copies and are sequentially-numbered with an "eS" prefix.
