Upper Deck revealed on Thursday that it has reached a deal with the estate of Roger Maris to include the legendary New York Yankees slugger in its 2010 products.
The company will include game-used memorabilia and cut signature cards of the deceased home-run hero in six of its 2010 sets.
“Maris was an amazing player who lived in the shadows of other legends until that special season in 1961,” said Gabriel Garcia, Upper Deck’s baseball brand manager, in a news release. “His achievements cannot be disputed and as a storied member of the Bronx Bombers, he remains in high demand with collectors. In particular, we’re excited about some combo opportunities with Roger Maris and Joe DiMaggio together on the same card.”
