**************************************

From Upper Deck...
Carlsbad, CA – (March 6, 2008) – Upper Deck was founded in 1988, but 
as every collector knows, the first set from the leader in sports 
trading cards debuted in 1989. As Upper Deck prepares for the 20th 
anniversary of that historic set, a special collecting experience is 
being offered in the months leading up to the release of Upper 
Deck’s 2009 Series 1 Baseball. The company is producing a limited-
edition, 80-card set featuring athletes from professional baseball, 
football, basketball and hockey that have helped make Upper Deck the 
collector’s choice over the last 20 years.

Collectors can only receive the special “20th Anniversary” cards 
through Certified Diamond Dealers, which is a group comprised of 
Upper Deck’s preferred hobby retailers. Eight new cards will be 
released every month from March through December 2008. Collectors 
will need to purchase packs or boxes of new Upper Deck and Fleer 
releases through Certified Diamond Dealers to receive cards from the 
set. This marks the first time since 2002-2003 UD Superstars where a 
card manufacturer has produced a set featuring players from all four 
core sports.

Upper Deck has come up with a very compelling reason for collectors 
to put the entire set together by offering one of the most 
sensational prizes in the company’s history. Set collectors need to 
show they have completed the set by entering in all 80 unique codes 
from the back of the cards at www.upperdeck.com/anniversary by 
December 31, 2008. A grand-prize winner will be selected randomly 
from that group of collectors to win the ultimate sports dream 
package: tickets, airfare and accommodations for the winner and a 
guest to the Super Bowl XLIII; the 2009 NBA Finals (one game); the 
2009 NHL Stanley Cup Finals (one game); and the 2009 MLB World 
Series (one game).

The wrapper redemption program will be even more exciting for 
collectors who purchase on the box level as they will receive a 
sealed pack of the “20th Anniversary” cards with their purchase 
(while supplies last each month). Upper Deck has secured some of the 
most relevant and famous insert, rookie and promotional cards from 
throughout the company’s history. Starting with the 1988 Wally 
Joyner promo card all the way up to the Michael Jordan autographed 
Fleer rookie buy-back card released last year, collectors will be 
blown away by some of the cards that have been assembled to be 
inserted randomly in these packs. Even some rare cards from Upper 
Deck’s Golf, Motorsports, Soccer and Entertainment product lines 
have been included.

“Our goal has always been to drive consumers to our Certified 
Diamond Dealer partners,” said Mike Phillips, Upper Deck’s director 
of Hobby Sales. “We are offering collectors an incredible set, 
fantastic buy-back cards celebrating Upper Deck’s rich history and 
one of the most amazing prizes ever, all for doing what they already 
do – and that’s collecting our products.”
