Frequently asked

Who are the key rookies in this set?
The 1999 draft class is the star: Shawn Marion, Steve Francis, Elton Brand, Andre Miller, Corey Maggette, Ron Artest, Anthony Carter, and Jason Terry all have cards. These are the names that drive collector interest and secondary market value.
What's the box configuration?
Each hobby box has 36 packs with 10 cards per pack, for a total of 360 cards. A case holds 20 boxes.
Are there autographs in this product?
Yes, but they're scarce. Autographics inserts appear at 1:144 packs, which works out to roughly one autograph per four boxes on average. Don't expect one in every box.
What are the base card parallels?
There are two: HOOPLA (1:3 packs) and HOOPLA PLUS (1:30 packs). Both are foil parallels that add variety to base pulls without being too rare.
What's the most common insert?
Up Tempo hits at 1:9 packs, so you'll see it regularly. It also has a serially numbered parallel version (/1989) that's tougher to land.
What's the rarest pull besides autographs?
Genuine Coverage is the ultra-short-print at 1:893 packs. It's a case-hit level rarity, so don't expect to see one in a single box.
How many cards are in the base set?
The base set has 180 cards total, featuring a mix of established stars and the 1999 rookie class.
When did 1999-00 Upper Deck SkyBox X Hoops Decade come out?
