Manchester United ~ World Premiere
Upper Deck
45 cards
Back in 2001 Upper Deck announced their first collection of Manchester United cards and previewed it with a special 45 card World Premier set. I have also seen an uncut sheet of these cards.
UPDATE (19-04-2022 08:10): Raj Shah has provided much additional information about this collection that I was unaware of. The additional images originally appeared on the soccer card index.com website.

This is the small preview set, the other complete set is also checklisted on my blog.
DeleteThe World Premiere 45 card set also has autographs as I mentioned above. The link I included shows them. I have a pack-pulled (via redeemed redemption card) one of the autograph card.
DeleteThe 135 card set (not marked as World Premiere) also has 2 sets of autographs but ones is numbered to 200 and the other to the shirt number. There are additional insert sets, too.
Hi Raj,
DeleteThank you very much for your help, I never realised there were cards other than the base ones. I've updated my checklist from the information you've provided, I'm just sorry I couldn't update it sooner.
Thank you again for your help.
Take care and stay safe,
Alan
