Base Set
<sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info FROM cards WHERE (year = 1996) AND (setname = 'Leaf Preferred'); </sql2wiki>
Parallels
Press Proof
Each of the 150 base cards is available as a "Press Proof" parallel. Each Press Proof is limited, but NOT serial-numbered, to only 500 copies and stamped with gold foil (as opposed to silver) on the front, and has gold ink on the back.
Collectors should be advised that, other than the gold foil, there are no other markings on the card indicating that they are the Press Proofs (i.e. serial-numbering, or the words "PRESS PROOF").
Inserts
Steel
Seeded at the rate of one-per-pack, this 77 "card" set features player photos printed on steel plates. The Steel cards all have rounded corners (for obvious reasons) and have a peel-away coating on the front.
A Gold parallel was also inserted into packs at the rate of around one per box.
