This 90-card set was distributed in five-card packs with a suggested retail price of $3.99. The cards feature action color player images printed on game-ball stock for the look and feel of an actual baseball. The set contains the following subsets: World Premiere (61-80) with an insertion rate of one in every 3.5 packs, and Superstar Spotlight (81-90) inserted at a rate of one in six packs. In addition, 350 Mickey Mantle A Piece of History 500 Home Run bat cards were randomly seeded into packs. In addition, one special Mantle card was created by Upper Deck featuring both a chip of wood from a game used Mantle bat plus an authentic Mantle signature cut. Only one copy was produced and the design harkens from the popular 1999 A Piece of History Club cards except that much of the card front is devoted to a window to house the cut signature. Pricing and checklisting for these scarce bat cards can be referenced under 1999 Upper Deck A Piece of History 500 Club. [Collapse]
