The 100-card base set will also include 20 “Monumental Moments” cards that capture those special moments that gave Texas fans goose bumps through the years. From the first bowl game victory in 1943 against Georgia Tech to the “Game of the Century” in 1969 against Arkansas on to the 2006 Rose Bowl victory over USC; Upper Deck chronicled all those memories for UT fans.

This is the most comprehensive University of Texas Football set ever assembled. Each hobby box will contain one autograph card from a Longhorn great, and two special light F/X Texas Icons inserts! Every box is loaded with cards of 192 Longhorns legends (24 packs with 8 cards per pack)!
