First Look - Upper Deck's "Champs" Series

[Card Magnet]

Here's the first look straight from UD's facebook page. I do not like the design of that Crosby auto. They should have a full image instead of just his face in a box.

Stretching the boundaries of hockey card products last year was Champ’s Hockey, featuring dinosaurs, fossils, artifacts, bones, endangered species and more, all on cool-to-collect tobacco-style mini cards! Building on that success is 2009-10 Champ’s, which has a terrific lineup of inserts including more amazing creatur...es, a museum collection and great mini autos!

Wonders of the World, Dinosaurs, Historical Figures & Lots More!

“Museum Pieces” offer a true slice of History!
From bones & teeth to artifacts & fossils, this is a trip through time!

I kinda want one of those Grizzly Bear cards. They look awesome!

On a sidenote, I totally agree with the autos. It looks like a rushed poorly designed card. It just looks... ugly. ::facepalm::

Im not really a big fan of throwback sets like these but that Grizzly bear card is sick!!! :shock: :shock:

Hopefully they have a relic version of that card with real Grizzly bear hair on the card!! :shock:

How great would it be if they had a Lord Stanley relic card? That would be something great for a hockey fan to treasure.

:lol:

While I wouldn't condone doing so, I'd love to own a piece!

If they can make a hair card for Napoleon Bonaparte, they can do it for Lord Stanley, or at least find an old suit jacket of his.

I am not a big fan of this set either and the auto without a full picture is UGLY.
