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 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
