2009 Upper Deck Icons Baseball Box Bust
The 2009 Upper Deck Icons Baseball series is a preference of ours. We busted just 1 box, and while the hits in it were underwhelming, these cards are simply fun to observe. The base set features 161 cards, card number 131 having two variations. The back end of this collection is full with rookies and autographs so it’s a difficult master series to complete.
One of the additional pleasing aspects of this box is the Letterman insert that can be discovered at a tempo of about two per box. Both of the Letterman inserts that we pulled were Celebrity Letterman cards featuring poker players. The Phil Helmuth card was a good little addendum to our stock. As with additional sets that feature Letterman patches, several variations are autographed.
Additional insert sets include Future Foundations with a parallel green, a jersey, an autograph and a gold autograph version.
The Legendary Icons inserts, with numerous parallels is additionally a good addition. It brings back a number of of the big name players from the former like Bo Jackson and Tony Gwynn. There is also a retail red variant that we haven’t seen, but it’s one more interesting twist on the set. There are quite a few large pulls accessible if you break one of these boxes yourself with major Hall of Famers like Al Kaline, Carlton Fisk, Ozzie Smith, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra.
The existing player selection of Letterman features tons of youthful stars like Evan Longoria, Dustin Pedroia and Ian Kinsler as well as some all time favorites like Derek Jeter.
