==Autographs & Game-Used== ===Game Jersey=== https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Jerseys/J-IS/Ichiro-Suzuki.jpg?id=4e30e1ed-5f18-465e-8c9c-d67bc0d4bdb7&size=original&side=front&.jpg https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Jerseys/J-IS/Ichiro-Suzuki.jpg?id=4e30e1ed-5f18-465e-8c9c-d67bc0d4bdb7&size=original&side=back&.jpg '''NOTE:''' Despite the fact that the product was released two months before Opening Day, Sweet Spot contained what Upper Deck claimed was the first "game-used jersey" card of Ichiro Suzuki (worn in "an official Major League Baseball game", no less!) When it was pointed out that there was no way possible that Ichiro's Game Jersey card could have been from an actual Major League game, UD issued a statement that the jersey in question was worn in a 1999 Spring Training game, when Ichiro was a guest player for the Mariners. <sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info,serial from cards WHERE (year = '2001') AND (setname='Sweet Spot Game Jersey') ORDER BY num ASC; </sql2wiki> ===Game Bat=== https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Bats/B-BB/Barry-Bonds.jpg?id=0154d2df-5760-400b-9de5-a612ab4d75fa&size=original&side=front&.jpg https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Bats/B-BB/Barry-Bonds.jpg?id=0154d2df-5760-400b-9de5-a612ab4d75fa&size=original&side=back&.jpg <sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info,serial from cards WHERE (year = '2001') AND (setname='Sweet Spot Game Bat'); </sql2wiki> ===Game Base=== '''NOTE:''' Each Sweet Spot Game Base features a chunk of a base used in a game the player's depicted played in. Each base is game-dated. ====Level 1==== https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Bases-Level-1/B1-RR/Cal-Ripken-Jr-Scott-Rolen.jpg?id=6fe59292-7c00-4488-b569-9918664709cb&size=original&side=front&.jpg https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Bases-Level-1/B1-RR/Cal-Ripken-Jr-Scott-Rolen.jpg?id=6fe59292-7c00-4488-b569-9918664709cb&size=original&side=back&.jpg <sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '2001') AND (setname='Sweet Spot Game Base Level 1') ORDER BY num ASC; </sql2wiki> ====Level 2==== https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Bases-Level-2/B2-JGJ/Nomar-Garciaparra-Chipper-Jones-Andruw-Jones.jpg?id=1e56ce27-0f09-461b-8b0e-b63df1d6fa79&size=original&side=front&.jpg https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Game-Used-Bases-Level-2/B2-JGJ/Nomar-Garciaparra-Chipper-Jones-Andruw-Jones.jpg?id=1e56ce27-0f09-461b-8b0e-b63df1d6fa79&size=original&side=back&.jpg Each Sweet Spot Game Base Level 2 is serial-numbered to 50 copies. <sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info from cards WHERE (year = '2001') AND (setname='Sweet Spot Game Base Level 2') ORDER BY num ASC; </sql2wiki> ===Signatures=== https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Signatures/S-CJ/Chipper-Jones.jpg?id=8433fbb9-9f7c-45be-a8de-184b084e5602&size=original&side=front&.jpg https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/2001/Upper-Deck-Sweet-Spot---Signatures/S-CJ/Chipper-Jones.jpg?id=8433fbb9-9f7c-45be-a8de-184b084e5602&size=original&side=back&.jpg One of the more innovative inserts of the era, Sweet Spot Signatures are signed on a piece of leather made to look like the "sweet spot" of a baseball (red stitching and all) -- hence the name of the product. Most of these leather swatches were not from an actual baseball; however, for some of the deceased players, UD cut up a signed baseball and slapped the leather piece on a card. '''NOTES''' * Upper Deck announced production figures for some of the cards shortly after the product's release; however, none of the cards are serial-numbered. * Roger Clemens and Willie Mays packed out as redemptions, which expired November 8th, 2001. * Three players (Albert Belle, Pat Burrell and Rafael Furcal) have live autographs and redemptions. * Forty of Joe DiMaggio's 150 cards have a "Yankee Clipper" notation. <sql2wiki database="carddb"> SELECT num,player,info,serial from cards WHERE (year = '2001') AND (setname='Sweet Spot Signatures') ORDER BY num ASC; </sql2wiki> ===Rookie Update Ichiro Rookie Buyback Autographs=== Upper Deck bought-back four copies of Ichiro's Sweet Sport Sweet Beginnings card (#92), had Ichiro sign them, and randomly inserted them into packs of Rookie Update. Each is hand-numbered to 50 copies -- for the aggregate number of Ichiro cards UD bought back for this promotion -- and features a UD Authentic hologram. {{Sweet Spot}} [[Category:Upper Deck]] [[Category:2001]]
