2007 release of Upper Deck’s new UD Premier Baseball
The level of anticipation over the 2007 release of Upper Deck’s new UD Premier Baseball is running high. It is no surprise UD Premier Baseball (SRP of $300 per pack) is rapidly selling out.
Every pack of seven cards will contain at least five spectacular low-numbered “hits.” Collectors are assured of pulling at least one low-numbered autographed card, one low-numbered triple or quad memorabilia card, and low-numbered one dual or triple patch card – all numbered to 99 or less but most numbered much lower than that. An impressive variety of parallels and die-cut variations feature even lower sequential numbering schemes.
In fact, every card in 2007 Premier Baseball sports sequential numbering. The base set, an impressive blend of current superstars and retired legends, is numbered to 99. A 42-card subset of RCs focused on September call-ups is numbered to 199. Again, a variety of autographed and parallel versions will also be inserted.
"What an exciting product with great pulls, this is already the product of the year for me," exclaimed New Jersey collector Charles Stephen Wendell. "From the boxes I have opened and the ones I have seen opened, there are definitely great values coming out of this product!"
Premier Stitchings will be an integral part of the set. These cards will feature special custom-manufactured patches created specifically for each player. Seeded at a one-per-pack rate, they are among the most memorable innovations in recent sports-card history and nothing short of gorgeous, and very collectible.
"UD Premier Baseball has something for every type of high-end collector, from autographs to memorabilia. My customers are grateful that I am carrying this product in my store. I know my customers like chasing the rare cards like the signed Babe Ruth World Series ticket card," added Mitch Guttenberg, owner of The Bullpen card store in Los Angeles. "Upper Deck has loaded high-end autographs, memorabilia and unique die cuts on every memorabilia card. They've really outdone themselves with the embroidered patch cards."
If that isn't enough to catch your attention, then consider autograph cards incorporating as many as four, six, and even eight signatures per card. There is also a wide variety of one-of-one cards including Printing Plates.
And when it comes to player selection, Upper Deck Premier goes far beyond the usual expectations. In addition to all of today's biggest stars such as Albert Pujols, Vladimir Guerrero, Derek Jeter and Ken Griffey, Jr., you'll have a chance to collect top-shelf rookies such as the amazing new imports from Japan - the two new stars Daisuke Matsuzaka and Kei Igawa will be available along with Andrew Miller, Delmon Young and Troy Tulowitzki. Most impressive, though, is the stunning lineup of legends like Sandy Koufax, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Ty Cobb, Joe DiMaggio, Nolan Ryan and Cal Ripken Jr.
"If you look at the checklist - not only the names, but the types of cards - you won't be disappointed," insists Chris Kollmeyer, Associate Baseball Product Manager for Upper Deck. "The whole pack contains the type of hits collectors are looking for. There is an overwhelming amount of stuff for everyone, and the worst you can do in any pack is to pull a triple-memorabilia card. I definitely believe this product will deliver. UD Premier marks the return of one of the greatest hurlers of all time, Koufax."
So if you are in the mood to instantly obtain some cards that will become the centerpiece of your collection, 2007 Upper Deck Premier Baseball is just the product for you.
