Description

1998 Upper Deck Retro is a 129 card set that was the company's first nostalgia-based card set. Probably best remembered for its packaging, all packs were distributed, not in a traditional box, but in a lunchbox. All cards are printed on super-thick, un-coated 24-pt stock card and has a distinct "retro" feel.

Card number 82 (originally slated to be Stan Musial) does not exist due to licensing issues. Rookie Cards include Troy Glaus.

Distribution

Lunchbox: 24 packs per lunchbox, six-cards per pack (MSRP $4.99)
