Parallels
All 330 base cards are available in a one-per-pack Gold parallel.
1st Edition
Each Hobby and HTA case contained two "1st Edition" boxes in which all the cards are stamped with a 1st Edition logo. Each 1st Edition waxbox contained 20 packs of ten cards.
1st Edition packs contain only 1st Edition cards, and no other inserts.
Uncirculated
Inserted into each Hobby and HTA box as a box loader is a silver pack containing an Uncirculated Silver parallel and a redemption card good for an Uncirculated Gold parallel. As the name suggests, each card comes in a tamper-proof plastic holder -- similar to what Topps used with it's ill-fated eTopps brand.
The Uncirulated Silver set parallels the whole 330-card set and each card is serial-numbered to 245 copies; however, only 145 were inserted into boxes. The remaining Silvers were distributed as complete sets that were available to collectors who pulled one of 100 randomly-inserted exchange cards.
Uncirculated Gold is a 165-card partial parallel of the last half of the base set (cards #166-#330) and each card is serial-numbered to 210 copies. In addition to the Uncirculated Silver card, each box topper pack also contained an exchange card good for a randomly-selected Uncirculated Gold card. These exchange cards were also randomly inserted into retail packs.
