This 24-card set features color action photos on the front with the player's name in a black bar at the top. The backs carry a color player portrait, biographical information, and statistics. The cards were inserted one per specially marked box of Post cereals in Canada. Collectors also could get the cards through the mail in complete set form with proofs of purchase and a small charge. These factory sets included the NNO title and checklist cards. Cards still in the original cellophane wrapper from the cereal boxes are somewhat more desirable and can carry a slight premium of up to 1.5X the basic card. There were only 500 copies of the Wayne Gretzky autographed cards randomly inserted into Post cereal boxes. Lucky collectors who found this card could call a toll-free number to have their find certified by Upper Deck. The set is considered complete without the signed card. [Collapse]
