This 180 card set was issued in two separate brands. The basic Ovation product, containing cards 1-120, was released in June, 2002. These cards were issued in five-card packs with a suggested retail price of $3 per pack of which were issued 24 to a box and 20 boxes to a case. These cards feature veteran stars from cards 1-60, rookie stars from 61-89 (of which have a stated print run of 2002 serial numbered copies) and then five cards each of the six Upper Deck spokesmen from 90-119. The first series set concludes with a card with a stated print run of 2002 serial numbered sets featuring the six Upper Deck spokemen. Cards 121-180 were distributed within retail-only packs of Upper Deck Rookie Debut in mid-December 2002. Cards 121-150 were seeded at an approximate rate of one per pack and feature traded players and young prospects. Cards 151-180 continue the World Premiere rookie subset with each card being serial-numbered to 2002 copies. Though the manufacturer did not release odds on these market research indicates an approximate seeding ratio of 1:8 packs. [Collapse]
