As the University of Notre Dame celebrates one of its best seasons, Upper Deck is taking a moment to remember the storied football program.

The company released information on 2012 Upper Deck Notre Dame Football highlighting Fighting Irish icons from the past century. It seems like perfect timing since Notre Dame is headed to the BCS National Championship on Jan. 7 after going 12-0 in the regular season.

Every hobby box will include 80 cards – base sets, inserts and one autograph.

The autograph checklist is one of the best college football ones compiled. Names include Notre Dame icons such as Paul Hornung, Joe Theisman, Tim Brown, Ricky Watters, Lou Holtz, Brian Kelly, Jerome Bettis, Brady Quinn, and Rudy Ruettiger.

Collectors will be able to find retail blasters of Notre Dame football. Blasters will contain exclusive mini replica national championship banners.

Upper Deck has not given a release date yet.

I wasn’t too sure about these college sets at first but they’ve really grown on me. The boxes are affordable and the autos seem to fetch decent prices on the secondary market. I’m hoping for a Michigan set soon!

Cards of the Most Overrated college program in the history of College FB produced by the Most
Overrated Counterfitting Backdoor Selling Crooks in the history of the Card Business. The CLC
deal will be over soon as will UD.

i can pretty much guarantee the tk legacy notre dame set will be far better than the UD release. tk legacy features on card signatures, ud will go with stickers

I hope upper deck does a better research job than sample cards “Irish player scores TD….” How difficult would it be to get a program from the game and look up #17; unless there are legal reasons they cannot name names

The cards are just mock ups. They will more information on the real cards.

12 National Championships, and SEVEN Heisman Trophy winners does not spell over rated to me. You don’t have to like them, but they have a heritage worthy of a product like this.
