Brag Photo of the Week: Susan B. Anthony Haircut Card
Posted by: | CommentsWe’ve had our share of haircut cards in past Brag Photos, but this one is especially unique:

For starters, we’re talking about an authenticated strand of hair and signature from the most prominent advocate of the women’s suffrage movement through the 1800s.
Another unique aspect of this item is its size, which is notably bigger than your standard trading card. Her signature was often rather large, and once we found a quality one, we decided to just make the card itself bigger to accommodate it.
This card is of course a part of Upper Deck’s 2009 SP Legendary Cuts Baseball “Hair Cut Signature” series, and we’ve featured similar 1-of-1 gems here before (like Richard Nixon and John Adams). Talk about a big pull: these make a great historical centerpiece for any collection, and go for thousands of dollars on the secondary market.
Sad to say, you’ll have to pass on pulling this Susan B. Anthony card: it was recently completed and will be sent to the lucky collector who pulled it this week. That individual will get to brag next, though there’s always plenty of gems like these out there in Upper Deck packs, waiting to be claimed.

Brag Photo of the Week: Jordan Shoes
Posted by: | CommentsWe started with some art, moved on to a breaking through piece, and we’ll finish our UDA Jordan series with some serious sneakers.

When I was a kid, having Air Jordans or Pump sneakers was practically a requirement if you played basketball. These however, are a completely different item.

Signed by the man himself, limited to 23, and authenticated. Click here to check it out! This is definitely a high-end item, for ballers only (see what I did there?)

Brag Photo of the Week: Michael Jordan Breaking Through
Posted by: | CommentsSince last week’s Jordan Art piece got such a good response, I figured I’d share another prime UDA Jordan piece with you. I doubt the photos can do this one justice after seeing it in person, but I’ll try.

This is an autographed “Breaking Through” piece featuring Michael Jordan. The ball you see here actually busts through the frame.

And a better look at the autograph while I’m at it.

You may have seen similar pieces from UDA in the past, but this one seriously stands out. It’s big, the design is sleek, and it really has a lifelike feel that dominates a room.
If you’re a big fan of the Bulls, Jordan or basketball in general, it’s definitely a great centerpiece for your home. Click here to check it out in the online store!

Brag Photo of the Week: Jordan Art
Posted by: | CommentsIf you’ve been with UpperDeckBlog.com from day one, you may remember our very first Brag Photo of the Week: it was a shot of the United Center floor before it got divided up and shipped out for our unique memorabilia pieces.


Well, with a select few pieces of that floor, we did something even more unique. Check it out:

This is a piece of the same floor, featuring unique art by Jolene Jessie, and autographed by MJ himself.


As you can tell by the numbering, quanitites are extremely limited, but we do have some left. Click here to check it out in the online store!

Brag Photo of the Week: Super Bowl Tickets
Posted by: | CommentsHey, what’s up? I’ve got Super Bowl tickets.

Ok, they’re not actually mine. But I did at least get to hold them for a few moments.
No, these (and other seats) are going to various folks who earned them, such as the winner of our 20th Anniversary promotion from last year, and our Ultimate Fan contest winner.
Upper Deck contest winners will be there, but which two teams will they be watching in The Big Game? We’ll find out this weekend.
