2009 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions
Description
Originally released in September 2009, Upper Deck's Goodwin Champions was in response to the immensely popular Topps Allen & Ginter's set, just as the original Goodwin & Company issued a card set in 1888 in response to the 1887 Allen & Ginter's set.
The 2009 Goodwin Champions set includes base cards numbered 1 - 150, a group of short print cards numbered from 151 - 190, and a grouping of Super short prints, numbered from 191 - 210. There is a parallel mini set that excludes the numbers 151 - 210 from the normal-sized base set, but starts again beginning with number 211 and extending to 252. It is unexplained as to why Upper Deck chose this rather confusing numbering system, possibly to create more exclusivity and variety. There is also an accompanying parallel mini-black-border set, in addition to a parallel, mini-foil set. The foil set, although not individually numbered, is understood to have only 88 copies of each mini-foil made. To further the insert/parallel set, there is also the inclusion of the "Magician" parallel set, a black-foil mini card, each hand numbered to only eight copies each. The Magician's set is confirmed to arrive at only 1 per case of Goodwin Champions.
Hobby packs contained 5 cards per pack, with an MSRP of $4/pack. Hobby boxes yielded 20 packs.
Retail packs contained 4 cards per pack costing $2 each. Blasters contained 12 packs.
