1984 Topps #230 Rickey Henderson - Lot of (100) (A's)

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.

In 1993 Topps produced a limited number of special factory sets to honor the Colorado Rockies first season. A special gold foil Rockies logo was added to each card.

The initial print run of 5,000 ran out quickly so the Rockies had 5,000 more sets made. Cards were only available as factory sets so singles and team sets are a bit tougher to find.
