When we first announced that there would be a 2011 Upper Deck Exquisite Football set at the 2012 Las Vegas Industry Summit, the room buzzed with excitement. And there was plenty to be excited about as Certified Diamond Dealers in attendance enjoyed seeing the return of UD Black and the new Exquisite Dimensions autograph cards. And now as we get closer to launch, more and more hard-signed autograph cards are arriving here each week. Take a look at a small portion of cards recently received in.

We are bringing out the best patches of the year to use with the ultra-premium Exquisite Football set.

Patch swatches are significantly larger than the 2010 Upper Deck Exquisite Football product.

And with bigger patches, come more colorful swatches!

Look for autographs of legendary players like Jerry Rice!

Charles White has a particularly beautiful signature. Fight on!

And this Rocket Ismail Book Mark card features a beautiful painted image of the playmaker for Notre Dame in action.

Gold paint pen on some of the rookie autographs really make the hard-signed signatures "pop!"

The inclusion of inscription autographs help provide for some compelling chase for collectors.

As more autograph content arrives, we look forward to sharing a release date for this product in the near future. Look for more galleries on 2011 Upper Deck Exquisite Football in the future leading up to the pack out of the product where we will share a HUGE preview on the UD Facebook page.
