2007 Sweet Spot

Description

2007 Sweet Spot is a 142-card set released by Upper Deck, exclusively to Hobby outlets, December 7th, 2007. The base set consists of 100 veterans (all serial-numbered to 850 copies) and 42 Sweet Beginnings Rookie Signatures.

2007 marked a change in Sweet Spot's distribution and packaging. Responding to complaints regarding pack searchers, Upper Deck switched from traditional fin-sealed mylar packs, to tin boxes. Each six card tin box will contain two base cards serial-numbered to 850 copies, two Sweet Swatch Memorabilia cards, a Sweet Beginning Rookie Signature, and a Sweet Spot Signature signed on leather or wood.

Distribution

Six cards per tin box (MSRP: $120). 20 tins per case. Hobby only.

Inserts

Michael Buysner Gimmick Card

This unannounced card features a carcaiture of former Walt Disney Company CEO Michael Eisner. Earlier in 2007 Eisner's Tornante Company, LLC in association with Madison Dearborn Partners, purchased Topps for $385 million -- $40 million less that an unsolicited bid Upper Deck made.

Sweet Spot Signatures

NOTE: Sweet Spot Signatures, especially those signed in blue and red ink, have been known to fade over time. Buyer beware.

756 Asterisk

A Sweet Spot Signature of an asterisk was randomly inserted into tins. The card, which does not feature a photograph of any player, has "756" listed where the player's name would ordinarily be. The reverse side lists that the card was signed by "*".

Obviously, this is a reference to Barry Bonds who had just recently broke the career home run record, and since 2004, when he became the first player to ever voluntarily withdraw from the MLB Players Association's Group Licensing Agreement, had been exclusively available in Topps products.
