First look: 2012-13 Exquisite Collection Basketball
By Susan Lulgjuraj | Beckett Basketball Editor
All on-card, all the time – that’s way 2012-13 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Basketball will be for collectors.
Each box of Exquisite will have one pack of six cards with five on-card autographs with a rookie or base card numbered to 99 or fewer. Upper Deck will feature autographs from Michael Jordan and LeBron James and many of the all-time greats. The release will also be limited.
The rookies will include players from the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons.
Upper Deck is including a number of new autograph subsets this year with Dimensions Autographs, Sixteen (1-of-1), Masterpiece Signatures, Sports Signatures, College Signatures and NCAA Championship Trophy Signatures.
Other autographs will be featured on Rookie Signatures, Endorsements, Endorsements Dual, Endorsements Triple, Impressions, Limited Logos and more.
Upper Deck will also have UD Black Signatures, UD Black Dual Signatures, UD Black Old School Signatures and UD Black Dual Leather Book Signatures.
Exquisite is scheduled to come out Nov. 19.

I would love it…. Again especially Magic Johnson…. I bleed green being from Michigan…. I just can’t spend that amout. But Magic/Bird auto would be so sweet. Go Green Go White!
If one Jordan auto is good, then 16 must be better? How nuts is that? What on earth is UD thinking? How silly! And stickers to boot? About the only thing Exquisite has left going for it is all hard-signed cards. As a collector, I hate to see this. Bad move, UD.
