1997 Upper Deck Collector's Choice Int'l


Beckett already provides the basic checklist for this set. Although, their error is only listing this set as being produced in Italian.

Series I was produced in Italian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Northern European. It was distributed in a number of different box sizes, but most commonly in 36pks/box (more detail to come). Unlike previous foreign issues, the copywrite date is all English and makes these cards a bit more difficult to ID (guide to come).

Inserts include the following:
Mini Series I: languages of Spanish, Italian, German, French. Dual language paragraphs on backs of cards. No Japanese.
Stick-ums Series I: languages of Spanish, Italian, German, French. Int'l text of the paragraph on the back of the stickers. Checklist parallels the US 1996-97 series I. No Japanese.
Crash-the-Game Series I(2 Silver AND 2 Gold for each player): languages of Italian, Spanish, French, and Japanese. NOTE!! NO GERMAN CRASH!! All boxes found and opened have not included CTG cards. There is also no indication on the packaging or boxes that the German contains CTG as the other products advertise such.
Crash-the-Game Series II(2 Silver AND 2 Gold for each player):laguages in Japanese only! This series parallels Series II Crash the Game cards and has Japanese text on the back. There are also a lack of card numbers. 2 Silver and 2 Gold versions for each player have been found.



Jordan Journal's guide:Languages of Italian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and English (Northern European). These feature dual language paragraphs on the back of the cards, except for the English version with just the one English paragraph. Since these are only avalible in the Int'l product, they are labled as "Northern European" such as previous years UDCC products labled by Beckett have been.
