2016-17 Upper Deck EuroLeague Basketball Checklist and Details
Basketball is truly a global game and while the biggest talent always seems to end up in the NBA, there are still hundreds of pro players around the world who play hard and have yet to give up on their hoop dreams.
Upper Deck has yet to give up on its hoop dreams, either, as the company has released a product exclusive to its e-Pack platform which looks at some of the game’s best from overseas. Last week, collectors were surprised to see the arrival of 2016-17 Upper Deck EuroLeague Basketball and it provides an affordable break with a decent shot at autographs as well.
Base Set and Parallels
The 2016-17 Upper Deck EuroLeague Basketball set is a relatively simple 100-card affair featuring a solid mix of players from the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, including Aleksandar Vezenkov – a second round pick by the Brooklyn Nets in the 2017 NBA Draft. The base cards will not have a physical version, but every other pack is expected to contain a Rainbow foil parallel. A Patterned Rainbow foil will also exist for those melding specific cards on the e-Pack website.
Autographs and Inserts
There are Autograph parallel cards for 23 different EuroLeague players in 2016-17 Upper Deck EuroLeague Basketball to discover and they are seeded once in every 12 packs. Some of the top performers to pull include assists-per-game leader Milos Teodosic, Nando de Colo, Georgios Printezis, and Brad Wannamaker. They may not be household names in North America, but they were among the best in the EuroLeague this season.
The only traditional insert to be found in packs are the High Risers cards that depict the best dunkers in the EuroLeague.
Achievement cards will be available for those that complete the Autograph or High Risers sets. Those getting all 23 Autographs will actually receive two cards – Anthony Randolph and Furkan Korkmaz while the High Risers achievement is of Rakim Sanders.
