So there are two sets:
1998 Upper Deck 5 x 7 Blow Ups
1998 Upper Deck Jumbos
The only reason this is coming to me is Beckett added a card to Belle's checklist (the Jumbos) and now I'm just confused and not sure Belle has both or what the deal is.
Here is what I know via Beckett - The 5 x 7 Blow Ups measure exactly that, 5" by 7" and the Jumbos measure smaller at 3" by 5".
That is all Beckett has for the Jumbos but says this additionally for the Blow Ups:
"These jumbo parallel cards capture a selection of players taken from each of the three basic series of the 1998 Upper Deck set. Besides the obvious difference in size, these 5" by 7" cards also lack the silver foil coating on front that the standard 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" cards have. The first fifteen cards checklisted below (skip-numbered between 30 and 230) comprise the first series 5 x 7 Blow Up set. These first series jumbo cards were available only via redemption from Upper Deck. Collector's had to send in ten first series wrappers plus $3 to the UD redemption center. The next ten cards checklisted below (skip-numbered between 310 and 530) comprise the second series 5 x 7 Blow Up set. These second series jumbo cards were available only in specially marked mass market retail series 2 boxes (carrying an $11.99 SRP). Each box contained five basic series 2 retail packs and one 5 x 7 Blow Up. The third series 5 x 7 Blow Ups (numbered between 605 and 620 in the listings below) are comprised of selected stars from the Eminent Prestige subset within the basic issue Series 3 set."
Anyone have both of their guy? Anyone help me here?
To be clear, I have the card which measures 3" by 5" and that means it's technically the Jumbo for forever (until a few days ago) it was marked on my checklist as the 5 x 7 Jumbo because that's what it had to be. No I'm just confused and searching to see if the Blow Ups is out there for Belle.
P.S. - They had the Blow Ups on COMC for $1 and I purchased it right away and when I got it, they had it marked wrong too... it was smaller than 5" by 7" and therefore had to be the Jumbo per Beckett...
God I'm so confused...
