Product Highlight: 2005 Upper Deck Mini Jersey Collection Football

Posted on March 13, 2023 by sportscardinfo

You’ve got to give Upper Deck credit for creativity on this one.

Packaged inside each box of 2005 Upper Deck Mini Jersey Collection Football you will find (18) packs. Each pack contains (3) cards, and (1) Replica Jersey. There are (20) Replica White Jerseys, (10) Replica Dark Jerseys, and (9) Replica Jerseys Autographs to collect.

Autographs include:

Andrew Walter
Charlie Frye
Carlos Rogers
David Greene
Dan Orlovsky
Fred Gibson (Redemption)
Kyle Orton
Roddy White
Vernand Morency

The base set consists of (100) cards. Three subsets make up the base set – Regular Cards (#1-70), Jersey Generations (#71-85), and 2004 Season Review (#86-100). No parallels, inserts, relics, or autographs. The only autographs that you can pull are on the Replica Jerseys.

It doesn’t surprise me that this product flopped. Finding a way to store and display these Mini Replica Jerseys has always been it’s downfall. Football boxes are quite expensive mainly due to the Aaron Rodgers RC.

Upper Deck also made Mini Jersey Collection sets for the MLB and NHL. You will find NBA Mini Jerseys, but those were not issued as a standalone set. Blaster boxes of 2007-08 Upper Deck Basketball each contained a Mini Jersey.
