<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1995') AND (setname='Upper Deck Checklists'); </sql2wiki>

Steal of a Deal

This set is exclusive to Series One packs and commemorates shrewd trades and/or draft picks.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1995') AND (setname='Upper Deck Steal of a Deal') ORDER BY (SUBSTRING(num FROM 3)) +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Babe Ruth Baseball Heroes

This set is a continuation of the Baseball Heroes anthology and is exclusive to Series Two packs.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1995') AND (setname='Upper Deck Ruth Heroes'); </sql2wiki>

Predictors

Randomly inserted into packs this 100-card set features 19 players and one "Long Shot" in five categories: MVP, Rookie of the Year, Batting Average, Home Runs, and RBI. If the player depicted won the respective award/category, the card could then be redeemed for a special holographic-foil enhanced set of all the Predictor cards in that particular series. Collectors had until December 31, 1995 to redeem any winning Predictors. Winning cards are marked with a "W" in the checklist.

Award Winners

This set is exclusive to Hobby packs. Cards H1-H20 were in Series One Hobby packs while H21-H40 were in Series Two.

Winning card #H10 was good for a Predictor Award Winner Exchange set of cards #H1-H20. Cards #H38 and #40 were good for upgraded cards #H21-H40.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1995') AND (setname='Upper Deck Predictor Award Winners'); </sql2wiki>

League Leaders

This set is exclusive to retail packs. Cards R1-R30 were in Series One retail packs while R31-R60 were in Series Two.

Winning cards #R1, R10, R11, R20, R27 and R30 were all good for a Predictor League Leader Exchange set of cards #R1-R30. Card #R49 was the only winning Predictor card inserted into Series Two retail packs and was good for set #R31-R60. Because there was only one winning Series Two card, the Series Two Predictor League Leader Exchange set is considered by some collectors to be one of the scarcest insert sets of the early 1990s.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1995') AND (setname='Upper Deck Predictor League Leaders') ORDER BY (SUBSTRING(num FROM 2)) +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Trade Exchange

These five cards were randomly inserted into all Series Two packs. A collector could send in these cards and receive nine cards from the Traded series (numbers 451-495). These cards expired February 1, 1996.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1995') AND (setname='Upper Deck Trade Exchange'); </sql2wiki>

Autographs

Autographs

Randomly inserted into Series Two Hobby packs were these five redemption cards, each good for an on-card autograph of the player depicted.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1995') AND (setname='Upper Deck Autographs') ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Jumbo Autograph

These two over-sized (8" X 10") autographed cards were available exclusively through a wrapper redemption offer. Collectors who sent in 35 Series One (Clemens) or Series Two (A-Rod) Hobby wrappers and $5 for shipping and handling would get an autograph.

Each player signed only 8000 cards.
