Parallels
Each base card is available in a President's Edition parallel, which is hand-numbered to ten copies. Each card is die-cut and printed on a plastic cardstock.
NOTES
- A number of these cards have emerged without serial-numbering. It is unclear how these cards made their way into The Hobby.
- In May, 2012, a President's Edition card of Roy Halladay professionally graded Mint "9" by Beckett Grading sold on eBay for $10,000.
Inserts
