Twice in Four Years!

Upper Deck Releases Commemorative Red Sox World Championship Memorabilia and Exciting Team Player Baseball Cards

Carlsbad, Calif. – (November 1, 2007) – It’s hard enough to change nearly a century of a team’s history and win a World Championship. It’s completely another thing to throw the past in the garbage and win two World Series in four years. This is the foundation to building a dynasty. As the sports collectibles and memorabilia market leader, Upper Deck also knows a thing or two about changing the course of history and building a dynasty.



While the Red Sox were rolling to an early season double-digit lead over their archenemies from the Bronx, Upper Deck was seizing the moment and signed Sox hurler Daisuke (Dice–K) Matsuzaka to an exclusive autograph deal for baseball cards and memorabilia. All Dice-K has done to reward Upper Deck is to go 2-1 in the post season, and with the help of his teammates, propel them to their second MLB Championship in the new millennium.

New Englander’s can collect Matsuzaka, Ortiz, Ramirez, Varitek, Schilling and Youkilis baseball cards in Upper Deck’s SPx Baseball, Ultimate Collection, Future Stars, Masterpieces Baseball and Sweet Spot Classic – all on store shelves now. Collectors can also chase the Dice-K autographed lettermen cards in SP Authentic Baseball – variations spelling out ‘Gyro’, ‘Dice-K’ and ‘Matsuzaka’.



Dice-K has also signed a limited amount of World Series logoed authentic baseballs ($449.99) and World Series logoed balls with inscription “07 Champs” ($549.99). Upper Deck also offers autographed Red Sox jerseys featuring the World Series Patch ($699.99).



Looking for the whole ball and wax? Upper Deck has captured the thrills and greatest moments of the 2007 World Series Champions ($19.99) in this exclusive 50-card collection. Commemorating the winning team’s march to the crown, this officially-licensed box set from Upper Deck includes 25 regular-season player cards; 15 “Season Highlight” cards spotlighting key moments from the ’07 campaign; nine postseason “Memorable Moments” cards with some featuring action images from the ‘07 World Series; and one “World Series MVP” card. There will also be a beautifully designed 3.5” x 5” Commemorative Card showing the World Series champs in post-game celebration.
