2004 Upper Deck Power Up Question

[AndruwHRJones]

So I finally snagged an orange today and realized there were 3 others I supposedly need. There not very many on ebay/COMC in any color, so they seem rare regardless of which you need.

Looks like the blues are the rarest and may be 1/1's

I have seen purples, but Beckett also lists a Lavender. Is this just an error on Beckett's part, meaning the Lavender and Purple are the same.

Any information on this set or wrapper odds would be great.

The Purple and Lavender are two different things. Purples are worth 250 points, the Lavenders are worth 500, and the Blues are 1000 (they're 1:240, so the Blues fell two per case). I have never seen a Blue, ever.

Here's a Lavender:

And here's a Blue that is possibly a little over-priced: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-UPPER-...0705140639?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item2ebaf5679f

Thanks, very helpful!

Thanks, very helpful!

No problem, these parallels seem to be much harder to find than they should be. Must be because it was a kid's product, not too many adults took notice. Plus, if you give a kid's set a 2/case parallel, chances are that if kids get them, they won't get the significance.

I've got a 1000 pt card. Somewhere. Thought I had a scan in my Bucket, but it's not there. I think it's Tony Batista.

Found it! Was scanned but just on my computer. Also adds to my usual pile of terrific cards featuring players that nobody wants.
