If the 1997 set can be called "2000" for some unknown reason, you might as well call the 1998 set "2001," which is exactly what was done.
Skybox went crazy with the card production. The cards are printed on clear plastic. The design has some shine chrome-like stuff on the left side and the right side remains clear. The set has just 100 cards and five of them are Cubs. I was able to pick up the five cards from less that $3.00 total, so it looks like the cards haven't been able to keep their value.
The naming of these sets just boggles my mind. Why would a company put a set out in '97 and call it 2000? Another in '98 and name it 2001? It seems like the back end of the '90s was like the wild wild west of card collecting. I will say, these are just brilliant in hand though. I have the Sandberg from the '97 set and it's gorgeous when you hold it up to the light!
