Upper Deck has reinvented the trading card category repeatedly over the years with new innovations. Here’s a small list of some of the more well known innovations from Upper Deck:
1989 – Anti-Counterfeit Hologram, Premium Paper Stock, Foil Wrappers
Upper Deck introduces the first-ever anti-counterfeit hologram on trading cards, revolutionizing the industry. It also uses premium paper stock, thus raising the bar for photographers. Gone were the days of wax wrappers that could easily be searched as well, Upper Deck was the first company to utilize foil wrappers.
1990 – Autographed Inserts
Upper Deck is the first trading card company to put autographed insert cards into its product with the “Baseball Heroes” collection featuring Nolan Ryan and Reggie Jackson.
1996 – Game Jersey Cards
With its 1996 Upper Deck Football set, the company debuts game-used jersey swatches embedded on card fronts from superstars including Joe Montana, Brett Favre and Barry Sanders.
1998 – Piece of History Bat Cards
The controversial, yet hugely popular Babe Ruth "Piece of History" bat cards are unveiled; rare collectibles that feature pieces of a game-used bat swung by the Sultan of Swat.
1999 – PowerDeck
The world's first digital trading card is introduced with actual video footage of the featured player, along with music, photos, player profiles and statistics.
2008 – Haircut-Signature Cards
Insert cards feature actual strands of hair as well as cut signatures from deceased notables including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.
2009 – Entomology Cards.
Inside its Goodwin Champs set, Upper Deck debuts unique, regular and oversized cards containing actual insects/bugs.
2009 – SPx Shadowbox Card
Using new technology, Upper Deck created a new trading card that had layers of imagery embedded in it creating a shadowbox effect.
On April 12, 2011 Upper Deck will revolutionize the trading cards industry again. There is an insert set in 2011 Upper Deck Football called EVOLUTION, but they are not releasing any details about what that product is.
So my question to you is, what do you think the insert set EVOLUTION will be and what has been the best idea Upper Deck has had since they entered the hobby in 1989? I would love to hear what some fellow collectors will have to say about this.
