Upper Deck is teaming up with Major League Baseball, the programs co-sponsor, to launch a new MLB hobby wrapper redemption program, titled "Rookie Card of the Month". The program will entice collectors to purchase 2007 Upper Deck and Fleer Baseball and to exchange the card wrappers for the new exclusive collectible MLB rookie card set – one per month of the season.

Upper Deck has named Fred Lewis, outfielder, San Francisco Giants, as its Rookie of the Month for May. Lewis went five for five at the plate in his Major League Debut, hitting for the cycle.

The "Rookie of the Month" baseball card set features six unique cards based on those handpicked by MLB each month. The "Rookie of the Month" cards will be sent to hobby shops each month where collectors can redeem their wrappers.
