One of three Ken Griffey, Jr. cards were distributed to dealers and to The Hobby media several weeks prior to the product's release. The cards are serial numbered "0000/0000" on front, have the word "SAMPLE" pasted across the back, and is oddly numbered either "24 East," "24 Central," or "24 West." Originally, Upper Deck had intended to distribute 1999 SPx regionally, in a matter similar to the regional inserts in 1994 Upper Deck.
