Frequently asked

What's the main chase card in 2001-02 Ultra?
Kobe Bryant #26 is the marquee card. His base version runs around $10 ungraded, but the Gold Medallion parallel and higher grades command serious money. Michael Jordan #102 is also a key veteran pull.
How many rookies are in the set?
There are 25 rookies (cards #151-175), all serial numbered to 2222. They're a big part of the appeal, especially the Gold Medallion versions which are numbered to just 100.
What are the odds on autographs and game-worn cards?
Overall memorabilia/autograph odds are 1:24 packs. The 02 Good Autographs subset is sequentially numbered to 150 packs. Game-worn inserts like Triple-Double Trouble and On The Road run 1:156 packs each.
How common are Gold Medallion parallels?
Gold Medallion cards appear at 1:1 packs, so you'll pull one in every pack. Rookie Gold Medallions are much scarcer, numbered to 100, making them a solid parallel chase.
What inserts should I hunt for?
The 02 Good Autographs are the top chase. League Leaders Game-Worn (sequentially numbered to 450) and the Triple-Double Trouble / On The Road game-worn sets are also popular. League Leaders and 02 Good base inserts run 1:20 packs each.
Is this a good value box at current prices?
At $725-$960 depending on the retailer, you're paying for the potential of Kobe, the rookie cards, and the autograph/game-worn hits. The Gold Medallion parallels and inserts add depth, but it's a vintage product so availability and condition matter a lot for value.
