Description1996 Collector's Choice is a 790-card, two series, set. The first 365 cards were released in November, 1995. Randomly inserted into all Series One packs were three different "Post-Season Highlights" exchange cards. Each card could then be sent to Upper Deck, and the collector would then receive one of three, ten-card, Post-Season Highlight subsets (cards 366-395). Series Two was released in June, 1996 and contained another 365 cards (396-760). The final 30-cards (#761-790) make up an Update subset and were available via a wrapper redemption offer. All 790 cards were available in the Collector's Choice Factory set. Also, a 48-card, partial parallel set was distributed via vending machines. These cards are very similar to the regular cards with some differences; they are numbered out of 48 and the first six cards in the set are foil.

UpdateThe final 30 cards in the 1996 Collector's Choice set were made available to collectors through a wrapper redemption offer. All 30 cards are also available in the 1996 Collector's Choice factory set.
ParallelsWith the exception of the 30 Post-Season Highlight (cards 366-395) and 30 Update cards (#761-790), all 730 base cards are available in the following parallels.
VendingThis 48-card set is a partial-parallel was distributed in coin-operated vending machines manufactured by the Folz company. This set is often referred to as the "Folz" set by collectors. Each card 2 1/3" X 3 2/5" -- slightly smaller and narrower than a standard-sized card -- and each is sequentially-numbered "X/48" on the back. The first six cards in the set were printed on foil cardstock and short-printed.
InsertsYou Make the PlayOne card from this 90-card set was inserted into each Series One pack. Forty-five players are featured on two different cards. The cards measure just about the standard-size but have rounded corners and were meant to be played as part of a game. In addition to being inserted into packs, dealers also were offered extra You Make the Play cards depending on how many cases ordered. A dealer who ordered one case received two 12-card packs of these cards for a total of 24 cards. Meanwhile, a dealer who ordered two cases received six 12-card packs for a total of 72 cards. Customers could also receive 12 of these cards by sending ten wrappers and $2 to an a mail-in order. This offer expired on May 15th, 1996. All 90 cards are also available in a Gold Signature parallel.
You Crash the GameThis 90-card set features 30 of the game's top sluggers on three different game cards. If the featured player hit a home run during the time period specified on the card, it was then eligible to be redeemed for a super premium Cell Card of the same player. The postmark expiration date for exchanging winning cards was November 18th, 1996. This set is also available in a Gold parallel.
You Crash the Game RedemptionThis 27-card, skip-numbered, set features transparent color player images of the home run hitters from the Collectors Choice Crash the Game regular set in a wood-like frame highlighted with silver foil. The cards were available via mail on a card-by-card basis in exchange for winning Silver or Gold Crash cards. The set parallels the You Crash the Game set; however, three players (Tim Salmon, Larry Walker, and Joe Carter) did not have any winning YCtG cards. Therefore, this set is complete without cards #CG8, CG16 and CG30.

Each six-card pack contained five base cards and one A Cut Above insert and retailed for $0.97.
