Graded: 2009-10 Exquisite Collection All-NBA Access Dual Logos Autographs #DLBB Bryant/Bird
Upper Deck tapped into what fans and collectors want most, memorabilia and autographs. In the 2009-10 Exquisite Collection they gave fans a quadruple dip pairing patch and autograph with two all-time greats on one card.
Collectors and flippers alike saw dollar signs when Upper Deck released their 2009-10 Exquisite Collection. In a print run of 199 of Kobe Bryant #3 alone, low-end raw values start at $150.
In the All-Access dual logos, UD tagged Bryant with Brandon Roy and on a triple logo card collectors got a 1-of-1 with Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and LeBron James – Dwight Howard, James, and Bryant – and Michael Jordan, James, and Bryant.
The idea was pushed to Collection of Eights – that’s right, eight patches on one card. UD released 13 cards that were 10-of-10 featuring Bryant patches. Not all the groupings made sense, but some, like eight Los Angeles Lakers’ player patches, did.
Another grouping of eight patches on a card with Bryant were produced limiting the run to 13, each only being 3-of-3. How about landing a card with patches of Jerry West, Lamar Odom, Pat Riley, Pau Gasol, Magic Johnson, Andrew Bynum, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Bryant?
The dual logos-autographs were all 1-of-1 grouping top players of the time, like Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady, LeBron James and Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett and Larry Bird, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, and Julius Erving and LeBron James. Another highly sought-after pairing was Michael Jordan and Julius Erving and Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
The pictured 2009-10 Exquisite Collection All-NBA Access Dual Logos Autographs #DLBB Bryant/Bird 8 sold at Goldin Auctions on Dec. 28, 2024, for $183,000.
