A basic 90 card set with six chase cards seems simple enough but with the additional complication of six parallel sets (same cards but different finishes.) There was also a promotional 3-card panel which also featured the single Boris artwork in the set.

This card set was printed on metallic stock with Comic Images' MagnaChrome process, which involves outlining the edges of objects with a non-reflective white substance. The result is a three-dimensional effect when viewed correctly, but not as much so as obtained with the chromium printing process.
The cards feature the work of ten artists, with nine paintings by each artist, one being a self-portrait. The insert cards consist of one image by each artist repeated on chromium stock. One of the featured artists, quite obviously, is Boris, else I wouldn't mention the set here. The cards for each artist are numbered 1 to 9, rather than the entire set being numbered continuously. Much as I dislike it, I have retained the American spelling on the grounds that that's the title Boris gave it (we must forgive him his misguided spelling: he's originally Peruvian and has been subjected to bad influences.)
The Checklist and Autograph cards show the same photo of Boris but can be distinguished by their differing holographic backgrounds.

A 100 card base set, which is subdivided into 11 nine-card subsets, plus two chase-card sets. Boris and Julie painted the Japan subset.
X-Men Fleer Ultra is printed in gold foil at the bottom left of each card with the title printed in large letters to the right of this, also in gold foil. Below the title is a coloured flash overprinted with the subset name (in this case Japan.)
