Shop owners and collectors celebrate the release of the new baseball card set

Carlsbad, CA (October 16, 2009) – The September release of 2009 MLB Goodwin Champions provided collectors with a memorable pack-opening experience by virtue of its beautiful vintage design and vast array of unique inserts that have the industry buzzing. Upper Deck sponsored more than 10 “Tailgate Parties” around the product’s release where shop owners received prize support and refreshments for their customers who came by to check out the new set.

Many collectors are chasing the set as the base card design has been extremely well received. To make things easier for collectors interested in putting the set together, Upper Deck is now announcing short-print information on the set. (click read more for the info)


[more]

Cards 1-150: Commonly seeded;
Cards 151-190: Short Prints (1:2 hobby packs on average);
Cards 191-210: Super Short Prints (2:1 hobby boxes on average); and
Cards 211-252: Mini High-Series Exclusives (42 of the 192 cards that create the mini card set).

What’s also noteworthy is that the mini parallels exist in the basic card format from cards 1-150 but then the final 42 cards in the set are only available in the mini card format. Foil versions of the mini parallels are limited to just 88 total sets. There is one other considerably more limited variation known as the “Moonlight” set that features the following players with a dark background and full moon behind them. Below is a listing of players that have this rare “Moonlight” parallel:

Cool - thanks for the infor. I love this set

was nice to see this near the end of the release:

"We think collectors are going to fall in love with it all over again once the exchange cards for the Landmarks, Entomology and Thoroughbred cards when they start shipping out next month. Collectors have never seen anything like these and we know they will absolutely love them.”

I've pulled 1 of each so far and can't wait till I see them

start shipping next month??? So UD didn't have these cards anyway. The US only thing was just a story.

Some surprising names on the SP auto list.

What do you mean????

I mean, this product was delayed a few times and when we finally opened it all the bug and hair cards (which everyone
was looking forward to) were redemption. Could UD could out with a product in which all the case hits were
redemptions? I was told by many people on here that they couldn't send bugs and stuff overseas, so that
explained the redemptions, well know we learn that UD doesn't even have the cards yet. UD+redemptions=not good.

Horse hair and insects were probably done as redemptions, because of their fragility. THat, and they know they won't have to make a card for EVERY redemption since some will expire or just not be redeemed. Why go through the trouble of preserving and insect or hair when it won't be needed? The same reason a lot of REALLY high end cuts aren't put into packs.

They had bugs and horse hair at the National. They also had copies of the cards to go in the set, the cards are as thick as 15 cards or so. They wouldn't fit in packs.

I was lucky enough to get a Halladay/50 and a Chavez/50...both from Allincards' group breaks! Thanks, FCB!


As far as the redemption thing goes, it is only the bug cards that can't be redeemed in Canada. I have 2 Thoroughbred cards and a Landmarks card pending redemption at upper deck, a Felix auto too, which they say is in stock and will ship soon. I am collecting the 20th anniversary memorabilia cards as well, for which I would love to get a checklist. I emailed upper deck, but no response :( I have 20 of them now :)

I would think the landmark's are last out of the bug's, horse-hair, & landmark redemption's. But that is just my opinion, I've not followed the SV's (except for the bug's, since I got 1 in AIC's break). :D
