Have you bought any of the 2008 First edition Upper Deck football cards yet? You know, the ones that come in what I think is a 12 card package for like $1? I have seen some of these cards, and I must admit that I thought they look rather good. The cards mostly feature very nice, full color action shots of the players. The bottom on the cards is like a grey and white color, and in this grey and white space is where you find the players name, position, and team.  Of course, the right side of the card has white lettering vertically along the edge that says “First Edition”. And, they have the Upper Deck Trademark symbol in the tip left corner.

Turn the cards over, and you will find a very simple layout. It includes a grey and white backround and usually a color picture of the player. Along the top of the card is the players name, height, weight, birth date, and birthplace.  In the top left corner is the card number for this particular series.  There is also a symbol of the Major League Team they play for. Read down the card, and you will find the statistics for pretty much the players entire career. There is also a small written excerpt, kind of like a “bonus facts” section, written about the featured player.

Overall, I think they have done a good job on the First Edition series for 2008. They look clean, nice, and uncluttered to me. Good job Upper Deck!
