I bought the set pretty aggressively at the time. The foils were in with the regular cards, although I can't state that they were collated with the same frequency - don't know about that. Can say that, in my experience at least, if you get a Chipper Jones or Johnny Damon graded they come back with much better grades the Jeters that were treated/handled exactly the same way. I also don't know if that's because there is something peculiar about the Jeter that makes it susceptible to problems, or if (as I suspect) they just go over them with a finer tooth comb so to speak. I can remember doing card shows back then and having plastic boxes with the complete foil subset for $20. Never even got a sniff.
