Upper Deck has included signature cards of some of the true icons of the NFL including Brett Favre, Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson. Autographs of legendary icons like Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Emmitt Smith, Jim Brown, Joe Theismann and Bo Jackson were also added. And to bring the product full circle, 2008 NFL Icons also includes autographs of rookie icons like Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Matt Ryan, Chad Henne, Chris Long, Joe Flacco and many more. There are also some unique elements to 2008 NFL Icons collectors should be on the lookout for including “Movie Letterman” cards of celebrities who played in football-themed movies. There are signed and unsigned cards of Billy Dee Williams, who portrayed Gale Sayers in “Brian’s Song”; Burt Reynolds who starred in “The Longest Yard”; Kurt Russell from “The Best of Times”; Goldie Hawn from “Wildcats”; and Ed O’Neill from “Little Giants” and also from the hit TV series “Married with Children.” O’Neill has one version that will spell out his last name and one that will spell “Polk High” which is a reference to his “Married with Children” character.
Additionally there are some very interesting exchange cards for other unsigned “Letterman” cards. Collectors who find an exchange card for McCain/Obama will receive a “Letterman” card of whichever candidate ends up winning the White House and nine cards together will spell out “President.”
