This week Upper Deck released 2013 Ultimate Collection Football, a super-premium gridiron release featuring rookie stars and legendary players. And so far it seems to be a hit. Take for example what happened at Nick’s Sports Cards in Dallas, Texas. Debbie Redwine at the shop shared with Upper Deck via email, “I sold three packs to a customer who proceeded to buy every pack in the case and LOVED it! He pulled an Eddie Lacy one-of-one booklet autograph rookie card! You guys are hitting home runs on all of your products as of late and we couldn’t be happier for our customers!”
The premium look and feel of the cards coupled with hard-signed autograph content on all single-signed cards have fans fired up. On a hobby message board a fan said, “Can we please take a moment to applaud UD for the fact that it looks like pretty much everything in this product is on-card?”
Some nice cards have made their way to online auction sites like eBay thus far. Take a look at the type of cards available in the set:
And if you want to see what it is like to open packs of 2013 Ultimate Collection Football, pack breaks are pouring in on YouTube. Check this one out:

Living in Eastern Canada I do not get much football action (sorry CFL) other than NFL on Sundays! I break open a couple of NFL card packs a month to keep me satisfied. I would like to try the new Ultimate Collection and land a Nick Foles Auto! Go Eagles!!
Football cards so nice,
Upper Deck gone made them right,
Pick me, I’ll be psych.
i want to start off by saying you can never go wrong with upper deck, ever since i was a little kid in 1989 upper deck has always had the best card designs, inserts,rcs and memorabilia hands down the best in the business, every year you guys step your game up as this years no different, I would love to bust a box of Ultimate Collection, just looking at the pics the swatches and patch autos look sick , and I love the retro look on the some of the autos, I just no if I would get a box im pulling a Marino or Elway!!!
and I just wanted to say thanks alot for always putting out the best product for the real collectors
