Errors[]
Surprisingly, there no reported uncorrected errors in the set.
Parallel Sets[]
There were two parallel sets inserted into packs. The International parallels were inserted 1 per pack as they had been included since 1997. A Gold Parallel set was also included but only 99 serial numbered sets were produced. These cards were inserted 1:111 series 1 and 1:59 series 2 packs.

Autographs[]
Autographed cards of various rookies and prospects were once again included as insert cards. 70 cards consisting of Blue, Silver and Gold varieties were inserted into packs in both Series 1 and 2. Unlike 1997 and 1998 autograph sets, the players included in the checklist began to be less star-studded. There are very few rookie autographs included, and none of the big stars.
