Description
The base set consists of 100 regular cards – each sporting a unique background design provided by the team that created the original 1997-98 Metal Universe set – and 50 high-series Metal Shredders cards (a new name and design for the high-series subset). The diverse checklist is made up of top prospects, current superstars and legends from a variety of sports: Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Football, Golf, Hockey, MMA, Soccer, Tennis and more!
The parallel lineup is extensive and will entice fans and collectors alike! There are seven colorful, serially-#d PMG parallels ranging from Red (#d to 150) to Purple (#d 1-of-1), as well as Auto and low-#d Gold Auto parallels.
