Hobby Oddities: 2004 Upper Deck Tiger Woods Executive Collection – Mouse Pad

In 2004 Upper Deck wanted to decorate your office in synthetic leather. It was all part of their Tiger Woods Executive Collection.

Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of the Tiger Woods Executive Collection. That’s ok. Most people have probably totally forgotten about it.

According to Upper Deck’s 2004 Holiday catalog:

“The Tiger Woods Executive Collection by Upper Deck combines elegant office products with one of the greatest golfers in history. Each product combines dual-toned synthetic leather with textured feel, a classic black-and-white image of Tiger, and a facsimile (replica) signature. Each item is further distinguished by an embossed golf ball and Upper Deck logo located on the front.”

Items in this collection include a portfolio, desktop business card holder, pocket business card holder, pen & pencil holder, and two styles of mouse pads (rounded & square).

I don’t believe any of these items sold very well. A mouse pad recently popped-up in it’s original package with a T.J. Maxx price tag on it.

Upper Deck’s catalogs had some odd stuff in them.

Product Highlight: 2005 Upper Deck Mini Jersey Collection Football

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.
