1999 Baseball Upper Deck Powerdeck Pack CD Rom -Rare

1999 Upper Deck PowerDeck Baseball — one of the most unique and experimental sets in sports card history. It stood out because it wasn’t just a trading card set… it was the first ever CD-ROM trading card set.

What Made It Special

Each “card” was actually a mini CD-ROM disc featuring:

• Full-motion video highlights

• Player stats

• Interviews

• Interactive features you could play on a computer (Windows/Mac)

This was a bold attempt to merge digital media with traditional collecting — way ahead of its time.
