There’s just something about sports memorabilia that tugs at our heart strings and wallets. Memorabilia producer Upper Deck has some of the best to offer, and last month, it debuted a new line of exclusive golf trading cards, with U.S. Open champion Michelle Wie among the elite golfers featured.
The 2014 Exquisite Golf Collection trading cards come in packs of six; five of them are autographed by a Tour pro. All are numbered to prove their authenticity. Each card also includes a swatch of game-worn shirts from the respective golfer. That’s right: you can own a piece of Michelle Wie’s wardrobe!
Of course, such exclusivity comes at a price. Each pack of cards averages a bit over $600.
The set also has a huge selection of Tiger Woods autograph cards, along with valuable rookie swatch cards for golf stars Graeme McDowell and Wood’s niece, Cheyenne Woods.
There are also a number of Legendary Signature and Signature Masterpiece cards that include both past and present players, from Jack Nicklaus to Arnold Palmer, and a few cards include multiple golfers and autographs. Avid golfer Michael Jordan even has his own autographed cards in the collection somewhere.
