I have a 98/99 Upper Deck Patrick Roy #74. I only had 3 of these packs and I noticed this is the only one that is stamped Game Dated. When I looked in Beckett I didn't see a Game Dated listed. Is this just a regular issue?

Several cards though out the set Had Game dated on them,
There was a parallel in 97/98 That were 3x as thick as the regular card and had a shinny surface. They changed the name of the parallel to exclusives in 98/99; So your card is just the regular from the set.

Those "Game Dated" cards were a nuisance back then. They caused collectors problems because nobody knew what version of the Game Dated program's cards you had. I just busted a box of 1997 UD Hockey and had to look at an eBay auction to see what the tough Game Dated version parallels really looked like.

Not to mention the Gretzky is now 425, But when the set first came out it was over 1500.00! No-one know the print run on those.
