I hope Yogi doesn’t mind me using one of his all-time favorite quotes, but thats the first thing that came to mind when I saw pictures of the new UD Ballpark Collection.
Seven years ago Upper Deck released a multi-sport product called Superstars, which I have blogged about once in the past. Unfortunately it never amounted to much, but there was one card that everyone wanted to pull – the Tiger Woods / Michael Jordan dual autographed relic #’ed/25. Even though I don’t collect basketball and only have a few golf cards, this is one I’d love to have. It features two of the best athletes each sport has ever seen, plus the autographs are on-card. Upper Deck’s ’09 Ballpark Collection teams Woods and Jordan up again, but this time it looks as if the autographs are on stickers. The serial number is lower, but I think the one from Superstars will always be king because of the on-card signatures.
Even though the autographs look to be on stickers, I’d probably crap myself if I pulled one.

Too bad the first one shows Jordan in his Wizards uni. Otherwise, I would say it’s definitely a better card. I like how the new ’09 card says “UD Spokesmen”…basically advertising that they pay these men a lot of money in order to be the only company that can produce a card like this…
If you would like to publish the king of on card signatures. I can send you a pic of the 23/25 jordans number. the king of kings
