2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Classic Baseball was the winner of a variety of awards in Beckett Baseball’s Best of 2007 category.  The product won Best Retired-Theme Product, Best Upper Deck Product, Best Cut Signature Set, and Best Game-Used Retired Card Set.  The product also won accolades with collectors regarding the Mystery Cut exchange cards.

Upper Deck has been working with a variety of vendors and James Spence Authentication to provide those lucky collectors who redeemed the cards a very solid list of deceased personalities to be included in the set.  There will still be some additional personalities added, but the list is very close to final and production is scheduled to begin in early January.  The core list of personalities included in the set is listed below:
