Autographed insert cards will be randomly inserted into packs as well as signed cards from some big name stars and Hall of Famers like LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Julius Erving and Bill Russell.
“We’re extremely exited about this set,” said Brandon Miller, Upper Deck’s Basketball brand manager
. “Ultimate Collection will provide a great mix of players past and present, and a terrific amount of autograph cards from some of the league’s best talent as well as many of its up-and-comers.”
Beyond the inclusion of several of draft picks, the 81-card set will also include James, the reigning two-time league MVP and newly inducted Hall-of-Famer Jordan who earned six league titles and six Finals MVP awards during his stirring tenure with Chicago. Both players will have autographed cards appearing in multiple Ultimate Collection insert sets including “Ultimate Signatures” and “1997 Legends.”
