athletes that helped pave the way. 2005 Past Time Pennants Baseball provides a timeline through
Major League Baseball’s past, highlighting legendary players and historical teams who have left

is full of unique collectibles making baseball historians out of collectors. This product delivers
more than a historical perspective; it packs all the collectible bells and whistles hobbyists yearn
for, including vintage pennants and throwback Mitchell and Ness jerseys.
"2005 Past Time Pennants does a masterful job of combining history and value to appeal to collectors
and baseball historians," said product manager Gregg Kohn. "It is not only filled with various
pennants and autographs but also gives insight to some MLB’s legendary players and teams."
The 90-card regular set blends today’s innovative technology with classic style and captivating photography
to appeal to set collectors. Silver and gold parallels of the entire set add addition chase. Baseball fans
can collect greats such as Yogi Berra, Lou Brock, Joe Dimaggio and Stan Musial. The Upper Deck Company
recently announced a partnership with the Curtis Management Group (CMG) to ensure that UD is the only sports
card manufacturer that can bring collectors the legends of the game. This partnership with CMG allows Upper
Deck to not only to be the exclusive trading card manufacturer for an incredible roster of legendary players,
but it also puts the company in a position to manage the proliferation that has taken place in the past
and re-establish collector values.
