Upper Deck Announces More 2008-09 NHL UD Black Rookies

I got this in from Chris Carlin from Upper Deck, who was a great guest on our podcast, click the link to the right to listen to his appearance. Upper Deck announced today new “Autograph Lettermen” cards will be revealed each week for their UD Black line up. I slightly remember this hockey sport from my youth, but now with Martin Brodeur out for the near future, it’s REALLY far from my mind!

North Las Vegas, NV (November 4, 2008) – As more and more rookies get time on the ice in the NHL, many collectors are getting excited about exchange cards in early Upper Deck products like 2008-09 NHL UD Black. Upper Deck will reveal rookies included in this set over the next few weeks. Each exchange card will be good for an “Autographed Letterman” rookie card from the 2008-09 set. Each letter of these cards can be used to spell out the player’s last name.

#104 – Nikita Filatov – Columbus
Card #108 – Drew Doughty – Los Angeles
Card #112 – Luca Sbisa – Philadelphia
