Hey all. I just opened a box of 1997 UD2 and it had an oversized 5" x 7" box topper of #350 Galarraga. I couldn't find any info for this in a quick search. Anyone know the details of this card/set?.

My guess is some sort of retail issue. They issued a lot of jumbo cards then but some sets are much harder to find. 1997 collector's choice is a tough one for example.
Kirby Puckett Collection: 2148/2990 71.84% (As of 5/13/14)
Current Most Wanted Kirby Puckett's (As of 2/5/17):
1. 1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold
2. 1992 Ace Novelty #307
3. 2015 Panini Prizm Blue Baseball Retail Parallel
4. 2016 Donruss 1982 Test Proofs Magenta/10
5. 2015 Panini Cooperstown Golf
That makes sense if was in an oddball box with only 10 Packs. The box does not say Hobby or Retail. Perhaps a specific product for some retailer.

Those are impossible to find. Never seen a Juan Gonzalez. Would pay greatly for one.Originally Posted by gracecollector

It's not that set. I deleted the post. It's not the 1997 UD Jumbo 1996 Award Winners Jumbo either, although Galarraga is in that set.
Here's a pic of the box it came out of. I bought a lot of old wax from a guy who said he cleared out a clearance rack at a kmart years ago. No guarantee it was from Kmart though.

A Free Blow-Up Card! Funny I don't see these mentioned on any of the websites with set info. Wonder if every player had one.
Yeah, I’d love to know that too in case I need to hunt another Puckett.

I have the bagwell base jumbo, but there is supposedly a jumbo of the preeminence subset that I've never seen, so unsure if they were made or if it's just an error on a checklist

Let the MLB know you’d like to see UD back. The license comes up in a couple years and they listen on social media.
