Being intersted in Dinosaurs as a child, not only does this bring back fond memories. It also add’s a little more excitement to the normal card collector. Upper Deck has alway’s had their finger on the pulse of the collector’s desires. The T-Rrex Card is amazing, why not just do a whole set?

I think these cards are pretty sweet…I think you should get a Piece of Chuck Norris’s Moustach and put that in a card! Now THATS relic! Way To Go UD you stuck gold again with the Champs Cards!

I just started collecting hockey cards this year and spent some big bucks on other ud products, my local card shop talked me into trying some of the champs and wow I love them. It is something so different from other cards and comeon you can get fossils! How cool is that!!! It is on the top of my list for hockey cards!!! Keep up the awsome work ud!!!

I think the inclusion of these cards into the hobby packs just speaks volumes of Upper Decks quest for searching for new and innovative ways to make the hobby fun. It is also a cool cross-over to keep collectors a little more well rounded to learn about something other than sports etc. A piece of a T-Rex would be much more applicable as a conversation piece with other people so it could have an effect of bringing in more collectors too. Even better, it is so cool for the card to mention WHAT bone it is of as well, instead of guesswork.

The evolution of sports cards; UD have Revolutionized the way we collect cards today. It’s unbelievable how UD turned the card industry to a multi-million dollar hobby!
Love the fresh, new ideas, love the passion and quality that goes into UD’s products!!

usually just collect hockey cards but this stuff is really awesome!! need to get me some.

Great subset, any thoughts of digging up a “Chelios” bone for the dino subset…. just saying.. the dude is old.

Have a couple Wooly Mammoth cards from last years product, looking forward to seeing what I receive from the 09-10 redemption I pulled last week. Great product.

Wow! UD really hit the nail on this one, first it was gu cards, then patch, then other pieces, now they have the ability to get their hands on fossils, bones, and other rare things from millions of years ago! these can be great for kids of any age. i’d love to get my hands on one.

Champs cards are the best.I feel like I went back in time,when cards were cards.No blinding gloss,shinihg gold or silver,just plain jane cards.Love them.Only problem…my wife says I’ve spent too much money on them and won’t let me buy anymore. help me out UpperDeck.

When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur, I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world, I made my arms short and I roamed the back yard, I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared, everybody knew me and was afraid of me, and one day my dad said “Bobby you are 17, it’s time to throw childish things aside” and I said “OK Pop”, but he didn’t really say that he said that “Stop being a dinosaur and get a job”.

Last year I bought tons of champs with the hopes of landing one of those bad boys. No luck. This year however I did manage to pull one of the museum pieces. Love the look and idea of the card and can’t wait to finally get mine to show off to my nephews, who are in their dinosaur craze right now.

this is awesome. i have been a dino love since i was a kid. and to actually own a pic of a bone from one is even better. i havent bought any of these boxes yet but i will do that in the near future.

I love the Champs set from upper deck, and would be completely ecstatic to obtain one of these redemption cards. I can just imagine how floored I would be to get something even close to a giant prehistoric alligator tooth! I am a huge hockey fan, and like the fact that with this set, you can have some fun with history at the same time, and my daughter definitely enjoys breaking as well. I have got her hooked! And not a bad way for her to want to spend some of her own money on occasion, and makes great gifts for her.
Go Champs!

I love for you guy’s decided to add this very unique product to the lineup in 2008-09. It gives collectors the chance to pull some unique and extraordinary pieces of history! The Wolly Mammoth cards are beyond amazing, but the idea of mini cards such as mini jersey’s and rookies is quite impressive. I bought 1 box last year to try it out, I loved it instantly. So that lead me to buying a case this year and im still not finished if you know what I mean 😉

These cards are just amazing. I think every kid grew up loving dinosaurs and these would make a perfect conversational piece in anyone’s collection.

These cards are awesome, instead of pulling a 4th line player no one likes, you have a chance to grab a piece of something prehistoric. Unbelievable.

I can say that I am a fan of fossils, I mean they were around way before. It’s neat to find out about how they lived and survived. Upper Deck is giving the chance at getting one of these rare pieces is a piece of work.
Made me a fan of Champs and still a fan of Upper Deck. NIce work and thanks for adding to our hobby

That card containing the tooth is going to be enormous! I’m a fan of this kind of thing–I got my first “Hollywood History” relic today: Ben Stiller. They’re pretty cool cards and as long as they don’t overpower the sports cards in a sports product, they’re A-OK! Have you guys ever considered an actual prehistoric product, having nothing to do with sports?

Champs is such a cool product! I just started collecting hockey cards and spent alot of money on different products and get really cool cards. But champs is cheap compaired to other products and still very fun and exciteing pack to open! I wish I would have waited for champs to come out before I spent alot of my card money on the more exspensive packs. Great Product UD!!!!

My boyfriend had bought 3 boxes of Champs a couple of months ago telling me how he could get actual dinosaur pieces on the cards.After opening all his packs he was so disappointed that he didn’t get any.He keeps on telling me how he would love to buy another box but they are too expensive.I would love to make him happy,and getting another box would do that for sure. Thank you.

I am not a huge hockey guy but I loved the Goodwin baseball so I tried a few packs did really hit anything but like them went back to grab a few more but someone had put holes in all the packs to see if their was any hits so I left them behind. I would love to pull a remdeption for one of those cards and the kids would love to take that to show and tell

This is probably my favourite Upper Deck product. I pulled an auto and a redemption the first day it was available. I can’t wait to get my “game-used” dinosaur!

Wow, these cards are really nice! I’ve always been a big fan of Hockey & Upper Deck. I’m not sure which would be a more exciting pull, a Sydney Crosby auto or a fossil! A set that can say it contains the “Greats of the Ice!”

I love the fossils in the Champs. It doesnt stop me from opening up packs with real hockey players in them, theyre just extra so why not? I love the Champs too though, it makes up for not having the Parkhurst sets anymore… I use to love those, but as long as theres something along these lines I am very happy… and with Champs… I am very happy.

these r great. i teach the 2nd grade and was thinking of buying a box for the class to open and see what we may pull out. how great would this be for a class project

i love to collect cards and these r something crazy if you pulled out a piece of old,old history. keep up the great work upper deck

my dad showed me these because i love dinosaurs. it would be cool to win some of the bones. i would show everyone i knowat school

my grandchildren love the t-rex how nice would that be if i could win a box to give them as a present and they really found a bone inside. thank-you for doing this upperdeck

Pretty amazing stuff – how cool would it be to get the full alligator tooth 1/1? I broke a few boxes and didn’t pull a redemption, but congrats to those who did! =)

Upper Deck has always produced a great premium product, but this year it looks like they are making history…literally. I’m not sure which would be better – to pull a Sidney Crosby Auto or a fossil!? Maybe a Buffalo Saber or a Sabertooth? Possibly an Atlanta Thrasher or a thrashing Tyrannosaurus Rex? Inserts keep the hobby exciting! These cards can truly be called “the legends of the ice!!!” Great job!

Pretty unreal what you’re able to do with cards now. Very cool that you’re able to share history like that.
