First look: 2010 Upper Deck Greats of the Game basketball cards

Upper Deck unveiled its plans for its first 2010 basketball card set on Tuesday, with its Greats of the Game product packed with madness scheduled to arrive next March.

Each 16-pack box will include three autographs or memorabilia cards — only two numbered autographs are guaranteed per case — with dual inscription and dual cut signatures also among the potential finds.

The standard set includes 100 base cards, 25 Big Man on Campus cards, 25 Banner Season cards, 25 Old School cards and 25 Glory Days cards.

Autographs to be found include Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, among others, as part of the Memorable Monikers, Legends of the Hall and School Pride autograph sets.
