NFL Season to Kick Off with Exciting New Retail Lineup!
Upper Deck's All-Star Lineup Features Best of the Best In Players and Content
How would you like to open up a pack of football cards this year for $2.99 and pull an
autographed card of Tony Gonzalez or a game-worn jersey card of Michael Vick? Win a trip
to the Pro Bowl? How about pulling the top rookie cards of the 2004 rookie class? Well,
now you can, all in the same pack! With Upper Deck's new, exciting All-Star Lineup series
of cards, the best players in the NFL - and the top rookies - will be showcased on every
card and in every pack in their college uniforms.
In addition, every box contains 24 promotional cards for collectors to send in to Upper Deck
for a chance for tickets to next year's Pro Bowl in Hawaii in January. The promotion is based
on collectors selecting in advance the offensive and defensive rookie of the year players.
There will be 68 players to choose from.
Upper Deck's NFL All-Star Lineup is scheduled to be released mid-July. NFL All-Star lineup will
be loaded with content, featuring 30 of the top picks from the NFL draft, including nine of

Football Brand Manager.
The excitement doesn't stop there! Collectors can put together the whole regular set through
silver parallel cards and gold parallel versions #d to 50. Keep in mind that the silver
