2008 Upper Deck Heroes Confusion

[vwnut13]

I know there is a lot of confusion in this set, and I have a few questions

1) Why is there a numbered and a non-numbered "black" version?

2) Where all of these found in hobby boxes, or are some retail only?

3) Why does the "Black" that isn't numbered have a "Charcoal" back, while the "Charcoal" has a "Black" back?

4) What is the correct name for the blue and green versions?

Thanks

Regarding question 1 : I believe the non numbered ones are Retail exclusives from what I remember.

1. I would assume Retail.

2. See answer to #1

3. I believe the Black (Rivera) is the "Black", while the Berra and Manny are the Charcoal.

In checking Beckett's checklist, it shows that Rivera has a black jersey card #'d to 125 (as is the one in the scan) and that there is an unnumbered Charcoal version (Similar to the Berra). Berra also has an unnumbered Charcoal version.

4. I believe Green is "Emerald" and there are is a "Light Blue" version and a "Navy Blue" version
