Question about 1997 Upper Deck

[mm1sub]

I should probably know this question but does anybody know what the deal is with 1997 Upper Deck cards 241-260? Were they only in factory sets or issued in a special box? I have been trying to find these cards for quite a while with no luck. If anyone knows the deal please let me know.

Thanks.

So now that I know that it was a mail in offer does anybody have those cards for sale or trade?

1997 Upper Deck is a 550-card set released in two series of 240 and 250 cards and two 30-card "Update" sets. Series One, containing the first 240 cards were released in January, 1997; while Series Two (cards #271-#520) was issued in June. Every base card is "game dated" on the front with the exact time and place in which the photo was taken.

Each series was supplemented by two 30-card update sets that were only available via a wrapper redemption offers. The "Postseason Highlights" set (cards #241-270) could be had for 10 Series One wrappers and $3 shipping & handling. A similar offer for the "Traded" set (cards #521-550) was offered for 10 Series Two wrappers and $3.
