Just last week Upper Deck shared the company had reached autograph deals with top draft picks like Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, Manti Te’o, Montee Ball and more. It signaled the start of one of the busiest times of the year for Upper Deck where the company rapidly moved to acquire autographs of the majority of the top draft picks to use for upcoming football products like 2013 Upper Deck Football.
Take a look at just some of the recent signing sessions Upper Deck has held with these future star rookies. Many of them are signing autographs on the actual card which helps with regard to the values tied to the cards. Upper Deck is working hard to get as much live autograph content into the product as possible to avoid redemption exchange cards and give collectors the best pack-opening experience in the industry.
