The 1995-96 Upper Deck SP set was issued in one series totalling 167 cards. The 8-card packs, distributed exclusively to hobby outlets, retailed for $4.19 each. The first 147 cards are grouped by team alphabetically by city. The set ends with the rookie-based subset Premier Prospects (148-167) which feature a totally different design to the basic cards. Card stock thickness was upgraded from the previous year. A special Hakeem Olajuwon Commemorative card (celebrating his achievement of becoming only the ninth player in NBA history to score 20,000 points and grab 10,000 rebounds) was randomly seeded into 1 in every 359 packs. Rookie Cards of note in this set include Michael Finley, Kevin Garnett, Antonio McDyess, Jerry Stackhouse and Damon Stoudamire. [Collapse]
