2001 Upper Deck Golf Checklist, Details
2001 Upper Deck Golf was the sport’s first mainstream set of cards in nearly a decade. One would have to go back to 1992 Pro Set for the last major release before it.
Although there are lots of important cards on the checklist, it’s driven by one golfer — Tiger Woods. The icon has a couple of cards that predate 2001 Upper Deck, but as the first mainstream release, this is widely regarded as the set with the Tiger Woods Rookie Card.
2001 Upper Deck Golf Checklist Overview
The base set is a 200-card affair. With so much time between golf sets, that means a lot of Rookie Cards. Forty-five to be exact. Besides Woods, other notables include Sergio Garcia and Mike Weir.
The checklist has several subsets, diving into the sport and its stars in a more thematic way. Legends class things up with greats from the past. Upper Deck’s trademark Young Guns make an appearance, headlined by Adam Scott. Jack Nicklaus and key moments from his career get the spotlight in The Golden Bear.
Other subsets include Leaderboard, Defining Moment, Victory March and Tour Time.
The 2001 Upper Deck Golf base set does not have any parallels.
Autographs and Memorabilia Cards
Over the next couple of years, Upper Deck would release more high-end products that gave more attention to hits, but this set is notable for being the sport’s first with both autographs and memorabilia cards as a possibility.
Player’s Ink is where the majority of the signatures are found. Landing 1:3,000 packs, they’re exceptionally tough to find. But the checklist is about as strong as one could expect. It includes the first Tiger Woods autograph, Arnold Palmer, John Daly, Fred Couples and 20 other PGA stars. Gold parallels are numbered to 25.
Memorabilia cards are available in two sets. Tour Threads (1:288) has one swatch per golfer. Tour Gear doubles things up with two.
Additional Inserts
With the product largely revolving around Tiger Woods, it shouldn’t be surprising that he has an entire insert set dedicated to him. Tiger’s Tales is a 30-card set that looks at moments from early in his career. Landing one per pack, these cards also ensured everybody got some Tiger every time out.
In 2001, Upper Deck was starting to look at the online possibilities of sports cards. e-Card was a program that spanned several sports. The idea was that each pack-inserted card had a digital code. Some that were entered into their website would transform into something much better. Here, six different e-Card inserts combine to land about one per box. One hundred of each then turned into e-Volve Autographs. Woods headlines this list os signers.
James Fiorentino provides the art for five Golf Gallery (1:24) cards. These also have autographs versions signed by the golfers. Among the toughest cards in the product, signed Golf Gallery cards have just 50 copies each.
National Heroes (14 cards, 1:12 packs) and Stat Leaders (21 cards, 1:8 packs) round out the 2001 Upper Deck Golf checklist.
