SP Signature and Game Used NBA Images

October 31, 2009 · Filed Under NEWS · Comment 

I got in a box of 2009 SP Signature and 2 packs of SP Game Used Basketball from Upper Deck this week. These sets may be considered by some a sticker and game used dumping grounds for Upper Deck, but I got a few cool cards and even hit my first ever Michael Jordan game jersey card.

Upper Deck addresses SP’s in recent products

October 16, 2009 · Filed Under Baseball, Upper Deck · Comment 

Upper Deck sent out a message today to address some questions on some new cards that were released in SP Authentic Baseball. When Mark Buehrle threw his perfect game on July 23 this year, Upper Deck owner Richard McWilliam said he wanted to do a card to commemorate that. The UD Baseball team quickly scampered to see what we could do to get it done and into a product this season. They also captured a card of the first pitch between Obama and Pujols at the All-Star Game in St. Louis. These two cards were inserted in very limited quantities into 2009 MLB Ballpark Collection.

As we saw Jeter climbing up the All-Time Yankee Hit List, we felt it would be important to chronicle that as well so another card was produced quickly and inserted in very limited quantities in 2009 MLB SP Authentic which released this week. They sent an image of the front and back of the Jeter card that commemorates him surpassing Lou Gehrig as the all-time Yankee Hit King.

Should something unique happen this postseason, Upper Deck may release more of these cards inserted in 2009 Ultimate Collection Baseball releasing later on this year. Below is a checklist of these cards:

SP1 – Mark Buehrle’s Perfect Game’

SP2 – 1st Pitch at All-Star Game between Obama and Pujols

SP3 – Derek Jeter – Yankees All-Time Hit King

2009 Panini Basketball Preview

October 15, 2009 · Filed Under Basketball, Panini Basketball · Comment 

In just a few weeks the base product of Panini Basketball releases. This should be a great product for a team collector. Everyone in the NBA should be featured in this product from what I heard at the National. It should be the most expansive checklist of any of the Panini sets and includes highlights such as the “Next Day” authentic ON CARD signed rookies of the top players from last years NBA Draft.

2009 Leaf Certified Preview Images

October 14, 2009 · Filed Under Donruss Football, Football · Comment 

Panini posted some images of 2009 Leaf Certified to their Facebook page today. Today is launch day of 2009 Leaf Certified Football. This is the only Football product I normally collect per year. I am not sure how much of a fan I am of it this year since it looks a lot like last year, which wasn’t my favorite version of the product. My favorite would be the 1996 Certified Product, then 2007 and 2005 in that order. Here are some images as well as the preview from Panini on the product.
