"2006 Upper Deck Series 1 Baseball Sets the Table For The New Season!
Product to Include 70th Anniversary Cards of the First Hall Of Fame Class
CARLSBAD, Calif. (January 30, 2006) - Upper Deck is ushering in a new chapter for baseball card collecting this spring by leading off its hardball lineup of 2006 products with a classic, Upper Deck Series 1 Baseball. At $2.99 per pack, Upper Deck Series 1 Baseball will provide new collectors the enjoyment and thrill of pack busting with their friends and family. The 500-card regular set features a deep roster of players from all 30 Major League Baseball teams while delivering a potent dose of memorabilia and signature cards from today’s brightest stars and top-notch rookies.
“The content in Upper Deck Series 1 Baseball is strong enough to satisfy Hobby collectors and affordable enough for beginning or novice hobby fans,” says baseball product manager Gregg Kohn. “Blue, gold, silver and emerald parallel versions of the regular set serial numbered to various levels are inserted to fuel the serious hobby collector in pursuit of low-numbered collectibles.”
Upper Deck Series 1 Baseball also features an abundant number of insert and game-used cards. Fifty-card insert sets of UD Diamond Collection, Star Attractions, Team Pride and Amazing Greats will treat collectors to perennial All Stars like Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens and Mark Prior. Parallel versions #’d to 699 and Game-Used versions of each are inserted to add to the chase.
Kohn added, “we will also include cut signature cards depicting members of the first HOF class of Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and Christy Mathewson. The cut signature cards will be randomly inserted throughout Series 1 and 2.”
In addition, there will also be one redemption card that will enable one lucky collector, who finds the redemption card (in Upper Deck Series 1), to be flown to the 2007 HOF induction ceremony and receive a complete one-of-one 100-card set of 1st Class Legends.
Rounding out the game-used lineup for 2006 Upper Deck Series 1 Baseball, UD Game Jersey and UD Game Patch feature stellar talent with Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Manny Ramirez and Albert Pujols in each of the 42-card insert sets.
