With college basketball on the forefront of the sports scene, Upper Deck picked the perfect time to release commemorating one of the most prolific college basketball programs in the country.

The University of North Carolina has had some of the greatest players come through the program including Michael Jordan, Vince Carter and Jerry Stackhouse.

The 90-card set highlights these players and more going back to the 1920s.

Autographs of famous players and coaches could be found scattered in the set, including miniature replica championship banners in each blaster box.

There are 23 randomly inserted Jordan signed 1982 banners found in the set.

The set was released through retail on Tuesday and should come out Thursday in hobby shops.
