Description

1995 Classic Five Sport is a 200-card multi-sport set. As the name suggests, Classic took the format of the previous years' Four Sport products and added NASCAR drivers into the mix. The product was released in two separate "waves," each containing the same 200-card base set.

The first "wave" was released in November, 1995. These boxes contained 36 packs and each box will contain one autograph. In early 1996, the second wave -- known as the "Hobby Hot Boxes" -- was issued. These packs contained exclusive parallels and inserts.

Distribution

Hobby/Retail: 36 packs per box, ten cards per pack.

Hobby Hot Box: 16 packs per box, ten cards per pack.
