Upper Deck produces a lot of trading cards each year. What would you do if you found out you were in the background of one of the cards however? Remember the story about Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks actually appearing on a NHL card well before he ever hoisted the Cup in Chicago? I love that card where he is sitting on his father’s lap.
Believe it or not, that young man in the yellow circle is actually Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks who appeared in the background of this trading card.
I had an interesting situation today where I got an email from a former cameraman who worked with the Cleveland Indians. He shared that he recently found out he was on a 2008 Upper Deck Baseball card with Joe Borowski of the Cleveland Indians.
“It was an immediate shocking/exciting moment for me considering I avidly collected Upper Deck sports cards for years throughout my childhood,” said Adam Marschall. “I have looked for the baseball card online in an attempt to purchase some copies, but have only found it on eBay and random sports memorabilia sites which seem a little shady.”
That's Adam holding the camera. Let's help him get his card!
Unfortunately we no longer have copies of that card to share with Adam, but we are hoping some of our fans do. Can you help Adam out with some copies of his card? Please leave a message in the comment section below if you have a copy of the card or several copies of the card. We will assist by providing you with some of our 2011 Goodwin Champions product.
Adam has been out of the card collecting game for a bit, so I want to show him how helpful the collecting community can be. Please dive into those old boxes and let’s help out Adam get his card!

Hey, according to my Beckett database it appears I have one of these.
2008 Upper Deck #125?
ebay is a ligitimate place to buy cards, I’ve purchased thousands of cards on there
I do believe I have this card. I was going through my Baseball stuff just a few days ago, and remember thinking it was odd to see the cameraman in the background. ill see if I can find it. If I do, how do we go about sending it to him ?
I believe I’ve got at least two of these at home. I’m working until the end of the evening. But will confirm either on here of the Facebook page when I know for sure.

I have to have a few of those…and I live here in Cleveland. I can get what I have to him…I’ll just have to take a look for it…
Actually, I was on a Pinnacle Football Card of Derrick Alexander of the Browns, I think it was 1996…so I know the feeling!
I would buy several copies and even offer to autograph a few 😉
Pretty sure you can get one from
