Message from UD: SP Cards in Ballpark and SP Authentic
When Mark Buehrle threw his perfect game on July 23 this year, our owner Richard McWilliam said he wanted to do a card to commemorate that. Our Baseball team quickly scampered to see what we could do to get it done and into a product this season. They also captured a card of the first pitch between Obama and Pujols at the All-Star Game in St. Louis. These two cards were inserted in very limited quantities into 2009 MLB Ballpark Collection.
As we saw Jeter climbing up the All-Time Yankee Hit List, we felt it would be important to chronicle that as well so another card was produced quickly and inserted in very limited quantities in 2009 MLB SP Authentic which released this week. Attached is an image of the front and back of the Jeter card that commemorates him surpassing Lou Gehrig as the all-time Yankee Hit King. Should something unique happen this postseason, there may be more of these cards inserted in 2009 Ultimate Collection Baseball releasing later on this year. Below is a checklist of these cards:
SP1 – Mark Buehrle’s Perfect Game’
SP2 – 1st Pitch at All-Star Game between Obama and Pujols
SP3 – Derek Jeter – Yankees All-Time Hit King
