Checklist

Base Set

Low-Series

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1991') AND (setname='Upper Deck') AND (num < 701) ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1991') AND (setname='Upper Deck') AND (num > 700) ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Inserts

SP

Randomly inserted into Lo (SP1) and Hi (SP2) Series packs were these two limited edition short-printed, or "SP," inserts. SP1 shows Michael Jordan taking batting practice before a 1990 White Sox game. This card was issued three years before Jordan's temporary retirement from basketball to play for the White Sox's minor league team, and this card is sometimes listed (incorrectly) as Jordan's baseball rookie card. SP2 commemorates the events of May 1, 1991 -- the date Nolan Ryan threw his 7th career no-hitter and Rickey Henderson broke the all-time stolen base record.

<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '1991') AND (setname='Upper Deck SP') ORDER BY num +0 ASC; </sql2wiki>

Silver Sluggers

Heroes of Baseball

In 1991, Upper Deck organized a series of Old-Timers-style events at ballparks nationwide. In conjunction with these games, Upper Deck also organized an autograph pavilion and card show. Dealers who setup at Heroes of Baseball card shows were entitled to purchase a special run of 1991 Upper Deck Lo-Series boxes that contained an exclusive Heroes of Baseball insert set. The set features three of the participants plus a a fourth card of all three players painted by Vernon Wells, Sr. Autographs of all three players were randomly inserted.
