Description

2002 Ultimate Collection is a 120-card set released by Upper Deck in December, 2002. Just like the previous year's product, each pack contained either an autograph or a game-used memorabilia card. The 2002 version promises two autographs in every four-pack Hobby box.

Also new, each base card is serial-numbered. The final ten cards in the set make up an Autographed Ultimate Rookie subset. Unfortunately, as with most 2002 products, there are many short-printed RCs, just not many quality RCs -- Cliff Lee being the best of the bunch.

Distribution

Four packs per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $100). Four boxes per case. Hobby only.
