One of the defining moments in American history will take place with the inauguration of Barack Obama as the next president of the U.S. Jackie Robinson was the first African American to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball. Obama and Robinson will now be featured on the same card, with cut signatures in Topps American Heritage.   

A couple from Arizona enjoyed opening packs of cards from Upper Deck together. So Mike DeRose decided to propose using a Ultimate Collection pack of cards, with help from the Upper Deck.  

For the first time since 2005, Lou Gehrig and Jackie Robinson game-used memorabilia cards will appear in a Donruss baseball product. The cards will debut in 2008 Prime Cuts IV Baseball, scheduled to release Dec. 24.

Another challenge has been issued to set collectors. After Upper Deck rolled out the Yankee Stadium Legacy set at 6,661 cards, the company is now chronicling a 4,890-card set based on the 2008 MLB season.

The number "23" is significant in basketball because it belongs to arguably the best player of all time - Michael Jordan. However, Upper Deck is giving a new significance to "23" by adding 23 Jordan-signed cards to 2008-09 Fleer Basketball.

Upper Deck has filed a $75 million lawsuit against Konami Digital Entertainment over Yu-Gi-Oh! , alleging breach of contract. This is the latest development in what has been a rocky relationship.

In 1997, Upper Deck released its Legends Football set. And now collectors can relive that time period, with cards of the legends of that time - Elway, Sanders, Bo Jackson and more. It's all coming back in 2008 Ultimate Collection Football.

A new set is on the way from Upper Deck - Timelines Cuts. The set includes cut autographs of only deceased ballplayers. Sound morbid? Nope, it sounds pretty cool.

When it comes to legendary NFL player autographs in trading card products, the one name not seen very often is Bruce Smith. Well, Upper Deck has some exciting news on this front.  

The concept of insert cards is still appealing to dealers, however, some offer ideas for manufacturers to spice up the concept.
