Sneak peek: 2009 Goodwin Champions Landmarks Golden Gate Bridge memorabilia cards
Upper Deck released some preview images of its latest memorabilia card that has been manufactured and will be headed out to collectors who found its redemption in packs of 2009 Goodwin Champions baseball cards.
The Goodwin Champions Landmarks Golden Gate Bridge card, an oversized collectible, features a piece of cable from the famed bridge itself embedded into the cardboard.
“The thing that makes this card a little different is the size,” said Upper Deck’s Chris Carlin. “It’s a 4×6 card that is actually a half-inch thick. It can actually stand.”
See additional images of the card after the jump.
The redemptions for all Landmarks cards were found just one per 12-box hobby case and are valued at $120 — though redemption holders don’t necessarily know which card they will be getting. Other cards in the set include Dead Sea salt and coal from the wreck of the Titanic, among others.

I have mixed feelings about the card. The size is a bit off-putting, then again it lends itself to a different type of collector. It’d be nice if Upper Deck shipped those cards in a special holder that way collector’s don’t have to spend time and money seeking a specially sized protector.
