1999 SP Top Prospects

Description

1999 SP Top Prospects is a 126-card minor league set released by Upper Deck and fully licensed by Minor League Baseball (MiLB).

Card #93 was pulled from production as, at the time, while a prospect in the New York Yankees farm system, Drew Henson was also the starting quarterback for the University of Michigan. The card was pulled over fears that it might affect Henson's NCAA eligibility. #93 was not pulled until very late in the production run, and as such, is rather easy to find.

Distribution

24 packs per box, eight cards per pack (MSRP: $4.99). Hobby only.
