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 one of the scarcest insert sets of the 1990s.

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