Upper Deck loves to engage our worldwide customers through social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Of course nothing is as good as getting out and talking to collectors and shop owners face to face which is why I am excited about National Hockey Card Day in the USA this weekend where I can spend time with our customers at shops throughout southern California. We love to show collectors the love here at Upper Deck.

We started interacting with Whitney Beal (@25whitney) awhile ago as she is a big collector and passionate fan of the Tennessee Volunteers. Since Upper Deck is the exclusive home of collegiate products, she obviously has an affinity for our products and loves talking about them on Twitter. In September, 2012 Whitney married her husband Brandon Beal (@hotrod33coupe) and we started thinking about a fun way we could commemorate this shining moment for the couple. And on Valentine’s Day, they found out just what we had in store for them.

Here’s a better look at the card we created for the couple.

Upper Deck created this special “Shining Moments” card to commemorate the special union of these collectors for Valentine’s Day.

What did she think when she received the card and some other goodies yesterday? Here is what Whitney and Brandon had to say via Twitter:

Brandon Beal @hotrod33coupe
Thanks @UpperDeckSports for the awesome gift! @25whitney and I love it!

Whitney @25whitney
I really can’t get over how amazing @UpperDeckSports is or thank them enough. The picture card 1/1 is truly beautiful! Thanks a million! J

Whitney @25whitney
I’m going to be honest, @UpperDeckSports gave me the best #ValentinesDay gift & it will be hard for @hotrod33coupe to compete with that. Lol J

Brandon Beal @hotrod33coupe
Looks like @UpperDeckSports set the bar high for Valentines Day… Hope I’m up for the challenge! #ImScrewed

We are glad you two enjoyed it. Look for Upper Deck to “socially surprise” more collectors in the future! Happy Valentine’s Day to all our fans!
