1997-98 E-X2001 is a hobby-exclusive set issued in a single series totaling 82 cards, which is made up of 80 base cards and two checklists. Cards were issued in 2-card packs with a release date SRP of $3.99/pack. Cards feature a combination of plastic and cardboard with die cut player images layered into the design. A Grant Hill sample card was issued to promote the set. Two highly desirable parallels exist that consistently fetch ultra strong premiums in the current market – Essential Credentials Future and Essential Credentials Now. The EX Future parallels feature a pink design theme and contain serial numbers opposite of the card numbers to 80. For example, card number 54 has a print run of 27. The EX Now parallels feature a green design theme and contain serial numbers that match the card numbers. For example, card number 54 has a print run of 54.
