Set Overview: 2008 UD Premier Baseball
Ways one could head down the road to divorce:
- sleep with another woman
- bet the kids' college fund on a losing horse
- buy a pack of 2008 UD Premier Baseball
With a suggested price of $300 for a seven-card pack, you're not likely to find Upper Deck's super premium cut-to-the-chase set at the local corner store. This is a Cadillac set for those with a sizable card budget, unlike myself who would opt for four or five low-end boxes at the same price.
But no guts, no glory goes the cliche. 2008 UD Premier Baseball has plenty of glory - and just as many gut busters. A couple of choice highlights:
Signs of History
These cards
are slated to fall one in every ten cases on average. Collectors can register these to receive a random cut autograph card from one of the former U.S. Presidents. Some rare dual- and quad-autograph cards are also included in the program. The “Signs of History” exchange cards can be found in all 2008 Upper Deck Baseball releases, but 2008 UD Premier Baseball offers the best odds.
Premier Card
These cards feature game-used swatches and autographs of three great players together and each card is limited to just three copies. Additionally, the Premier Logo Patch cards are all 1-of-1 cards that sport the MLB Logo embedded from a game-used jersey of that particular player.
Without further ado, here's the info straight from an Upper Deck press release.
