Find two “Rookie Autograph Letterman” inserts per box, spelling out the last names, colleges and team nicknames of the hottest rookie stars for 2008
North Las Vegas, NV (October 6, 2008) – The true measure of a great pack of sports cards is whether or not it was fun to open. With each pack loaded with autograph, memorabilia or the extremely popular “Rookie Autograph Letterman” cards, collectors will no doubt enjoy opening up 2008 SP Rookie Threads Football. If ever there was a year in which to collect top rookies it is now since the class is deep and performing well above expectations. Most of the “hits” in 2008 SP Rookie Threads Football will focus on the talented group of young players poised to become superstars.
Boxes of 2008 SP Rookie Threads Football are loaded with two “Rookie Autograph Letterman” cards, three autograph cards (including the chance of pulling multi-signed versions), five memorabilia cards and one “Super Swatch,” “Super Patch” or multi-player jersey card. The “Super Swatch” and “Super Patch” cards include huge patches of memorabilia from the players depicted on each of the cards.
This year there are three levels of collectability within the “Rookie Autograph Letterman” cards: either the last name of the players, their colleges or their college’s nickname. To make the process easier for collectors, Upper Deck lists what the group of cards should spell right below the autograph swatch.
“Rookies like Matt Ryan, Felix Jones, Steve Slaton, Darren McFadden, Jonathan Stewart, Chris Johnson and so many others are all emerging as huge talents,” said Brandon Miller, Upper Deck’s associate brand manager for Football. “It’s not surprising that collectors are flocking to a product like this with so much content focusing on these players. We’ve included autograph content from huge retired stars like Gale Sayers, John Elway, Y.A. Tittle and Joe Montana as well to bring 2008 SP Rookie Threads Football full circle.”
Each five-card pack of 2008 SP Rookie Threads Football carries a suggested retail price of $50 and football fans can find packs in stores now.
