Ninja Update: 2002-03 UD MVP

2002-03 UD MVP is a low-end product that caters to set collectors rather than hit chasers. The bulk of the product is made up of base, parallels, and inserts, but each hobby box does offer fans a memorabilia card, and there is a chance to pull an autograph as well. Of particular interest to set collectors will be the Classics parallel, which takes the base set and puts it on a more traditional card stock with a vintage look to it. This was a set that I personally enjoyed in my early days of collecting.
