2006 Upper Deck Special F/X
Description
2006 Upper Deck Special F/X is a 1007-card parallel brand released in January, 2007. The first 1000 card parallel the first two series of 2006 Upper Deck with the final seven cards featuring selected rookies from 2006 Upper Deck Update. The design is identical to 2006 Upper Deck, except it is printed on chromium stock -- not unlike Topps Chrome.
The provisional checklist issued by Upper Deck showed a 1025-card set; however, it appears that cards 1008-1025 weren't issued.
Distribution
16 packs per box, four cards per pack.
