Mike Eisner: Upper Deck’s Sweet Spot Update
On average, one of the two autographs, which by the way are on a piece of material cut from the Sweet Spot of an actual baseball (stitches and all), is that of a "Rookie Card" eligible player such as Cole Hamels or Stephen Drew. These signatures are serial-numbered to 299 or less and add a tremendous amount of value to your pack-busting experience.

Upper Deck Epic Baseball
Usually I associate the term "Epic" with any one of the Star Wars flicks, or the Raiders of the Lost Ark movies - even the first two Revenge of the Nerds masterpieces. But rarely do I attach such a powerful moniker to a set of baseball cards.
