2002 Upper Deck Rookie Update
Contents
Description
2002 Upper Deck Rookie Update is a bundled update set that features cards from 2002 SP Authentic, 2002 SPx, and 2002 Upper Deck Diamond Collection. Although there is no "Rookie Update" set, per se, the product does feature a number of game-used cards that are not part of any of the three aforementioned products.
On average, a 15-pack box should yield two serial-numbered rookie cards from SP Authentic and Diamond Collection, one serial-numbered autograph card from SPx, one Star Tribute game-jersey and one USA Future Watch Swatch card.
Distribution
15 packs per box, four cards per pack. Hobby exclusive.
