a tougher mid-series (#51-75), and finally (#76-250). Of note for fans
of variations, first series cards were issued in Canada with gray backs.

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.

Are sports cards valuable ?
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value,
others go up and some can even become very valuable.
Card values are based on many factors:
player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest.
A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
