Each pack contained one autograph. Although production figures were never fully revealed by Upper Deck, it is believed that the rookies and prospects were easier to pull than the veterans. Cards marked with an "SP" are the toughest to pull. Several players had their autographs pack-out as redemptions, all of which expired May 12, 2000.
