1996 thru 2000 SPx baseball Checklist & Values
From 1996 thru 2000 SPx baseball was Upper Deck's top end premium issue.
What made them excel was the advanced printing technology.
From year to year SPx cards varied but always offered something special
from die-cuts, holograms, metal looking insets, various levels of
scarcity of parallel issues, limited edition autographed base cards,
limited edition serially numbered labelled Rookie cards, relatively
scarce insert sets ... which gave them a premium look and feel.
Most were on a super thick premium card stock, several times the
weight and thickness of regular baseball cards.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 1)
The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years,
baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales
the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal.
In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball
cards in their products as well.
Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper
shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in
1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.
The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players
in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was
issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
