Upper Deck Inks Autograph Deal with Pete Rose for its 2010 Baseball Card Sets!
Trading card company to provide autographs and game-used memorabilia cards of baseball’s all-time hits king inside upcoming lineup of products
Carlsbad, CA (January 6, 2010) – Pete Rose, one of baseball’s most colorful and revered players and managers, has just signed an autograph deal with The Upper Deck Company. Due in part to Rose’s roller-coaster ride with baseball officials, his autographed cards remain in high demand and Upper Deck officials are ecstatic to have the all-time hits leader (4,256) on board for its 2010 baseball releases.
“Despite his current ban from baseball, Pete Rose’s signature and game-used memorabilia cards continue to be sought-after by baseball fans and card collectors everywhere,” said Gabriel Garcia, Upper Deck’s baseball brand manager. “We are extremely excited to have Pete be a part of our newest baseball card releases.”
Rose, who finished his 24-year playing career in 1986 with a lifetime bating average of .303, was the 1963 NL Rookie of the Year as well as the league’s MVP in 1973. A 17-time All-Star selection, Rose was also named MVP of the 1975 Fall Classic when he batted .370. He concluded his illustrious career on the baseball diamond with three championship rings to his credit.
The first Upper Deck product that will include Rose’s game-used memorabilia cards is 2010 Goudey Baseball, which is scheduled to hit store shelves on March 18.

Topps Signs #1 Draft Pick Stephen Strasburg to Exclusive Deal
New York, NY (Dec. 22, 2009) -The Topps Company, Inc., the exclusive producer of Major League Baseball trading cards, has announced that it has signed baseball's # 1 Draft Pick Stephen Strasburg to an exclusive agreement.
The multi-year deal grants Topps exclusive rights for autographed cards, game-used memorabilia cards and Strasburg's image use on packaging and advertising. Topps will also offer a limited edition line of autographed memorabilia items.
"I can't wait to see myself in uniform on my first Topps card," said Strasburg. "That's when I know I will have truly made it as a baseball player."
Strasburg, 21, one of the most heralded amateur players in the game's history, was the first overall pick of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft. The highly-touted pitcher went 13-1 with a 1.32 ERA at San Diego State University in 2009 and won the Golden Spikes Award tabbing him the best amateur baseball player in the country.
"Stephen is a very special talent," said Warren Friss, GM, Topps Sports & Entertainment. "When a phenom like him comes along, you do whatever you can to make them part of your team."
In the coming weeks, Topps will unveil card designs and products featuring Strasburg.
Earlier this year, Topps became the first exclusive baseball card company of Major League Baseball in nearly 30 years.

Upper Deck Signs Rivera and Petite
New York World Champions Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera Added to the Upper Deck Rotation in 2010
Upper Deck inks legendary pitching duo to an autograph deal
Carlsbad, CA (November 18, 2009) – Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera won their fifth World Championship together this year by besting Philadelphia in the Fall Classic. Now the two hurlers are joining forces with Upper Deck to sign autographs for the company’s 2010 Baseball releases. They reunite with their teammate and Upper Deck exclusive spokesman Derek Jeter on the company’s list of impressive championship baseball talent set to sign for Upper Deck in 2010.
What makes this non-exclusive deal even more exciting is the relative scarcity of both of these player’s signatures in the market. Rivera has had very few signed cards in the market in recent years and Pettitte has not had a signed card in the market since 2005. This, and the fact they just won the title again, will likely have fans in New York and beyond clamoring for these collectibles.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring signature cards of these two iconic players to collectors with our 2010 Upper Deck Baseball releases,” said Gabriel Garcia, Upper Deck’s baseball brand manager. “Their achievements are legendary and we know it will mean a lot to bring the New York faithful closer to their heroes. We are also very excited about some of the multi-signed trading cards we will be able to bring to the market with Pettitte, Rivera and Jeter in particular.”
