Description
The Upper Deck A Piece of History 500 HR Club, is a multi-brand, game-used set featuring all members (except Barry Bonds) of the 500 Home Run Club.
Beginning in 1999, Upper Deck inserted into various products cards featuring a piece of a game-used bat. The first group of 15 cards were randomly inserted into 1999 and early 2000 Upper Deck baseball sets.
As more players reached the 500 HR milestone, new cards were added.
With the exception of Babe Ruth, approximately 350 of each card was produced. Only 50 Babe Ruth's were made.
