2009 Upper Deck Baseball Series 1 Fat Pack

I feel as if Upper Deck has done a fantastic marketing job for passing trade. This is the third time that someone visiting the US has 'just happened' to see baseball cards and picked me a few packs. I'm not complaining, although I have to wonder out of all the cards available in the US, that Upper Deck is the one chosen to buy. Is it the colourful front and large image that draws non-collectors towards them. These look pretty, I'll have those.

These came from a parent at school, whose holiday took them to Florida and I am grateful that they thought of me whilst visiting Disneyland, Busch Gardens and the Kennedy Space Centre. 'There was so many to choose from,' the parent added! Oh, to have that dilemma.
