2013 Upper Deck Exquisite Football is set for release Wednesday with a mix of rookie cards from this year’s draft class, scattered veterans and some all-time greats, but it’s a new type of three-panel book cards that might grab collectors’ attention.
Exquisite will debut Triptych art cards, which feature a photograph and other information on one side and a three-panel hand painted scene on the other, with each signed by the athletes depicted. Thirty-six different players have signed for the product including Barry Sanders, who signed twice, Bo Jackson, Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, John Elway, Joe Namath and Steve Young. All are limited to three copies each.
The product carries last year’s date but will feature the 2014 NFL Draft class as part of its content, which will feature boxes once again carrying five autographs. Upper Deck says each box will have been hand collated. Expect boxes to run about $525-550 each on the low side.
Each box of 2013 Upper Deck Exquisite football has six cards, only one of which won’t be autographed. Boxes will feature one rookie autographed patch card numbered to 125 or less, one rookie autograph numbered to 99 or less and three additional autographs, all numbered to 15 or less.
Johnny Manziel, Sammy Watkins, Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater, Mike Evans, and other draftees have signed for the product.
Also among the big hits are exchange cards redeemable for the entire Rookie Autographed Patch set which will include 30 different cards, numbered to 3.
