Fractal Matrix headache

Last night I was looking through my Hershiser collection and looking through CheckOutMyCards.com. I found quite a few that they were offering that I didn't have. One of them was the 1997 Leaf Fractal Matrix card. That set name didn't click in my head, so I pulled out my copy of the 1998 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. Here's what they have to say about the set...

Leaf introduced Fractal Matrix inserts, a 400-card parallel set broken down into three colors and three unique die-cuts. One "fracture" breaks the insert set down by foil background color (80 Gold, 120 Silver and 200 Bronze). A second breaks those cards down into X, Y and Z "axis" variations. There are no markings on the cards to segregate the X, Y and Z groups, though that information was printed on the box bottoms. No production numbers or insert rations were released for either fracture. Each player is available in only one color/axis combination. The incredibly convoluted nature of the issue insured that virtually nobody understood the concept, putting a damper on collector interest.

There is also a Die-Cut version of this set...

A second parallel set to the Leaf product, the Fractal Matrix Die-Cuts offer three different die-cut designs with three different colors for each. The Axis-X die-cuts comprise 200 players (150 Bronze, 40 Silver and 10 Gold), the Axis-Y die-cuts has 120 players (60 Silver, 40 Bronze, 20 Gold), and the Axis-Z die-cuts consist of 80 players (50 Gold, 20 Silver, 10 Bronze). Odds of finding any of these inserts are 1:6 packs. Each player was issued in only one color/cut combination.

The numbering appears to be same in both sets. That makes sense. Leaf did a similar release in 1998. That doesn't.
