Upper Deck released some images and information on the upcoming SP Game Used Edition for 2010-11 and I have to say I was blown away. By far my favorite release every year, SP Game Used is taking it up a notch in 2010-11 with new Tribute to the Champs cards which highlight the Blackhawks run in 2009-10. Not only that but Upper Deck has listened to their fans by adding a new set called Supreme Sticks, which feature huge stick pieces (limited #’d to 5).As a memorabilia collector, SP Game Used combines the best of both worlds for me with the chance to pull one memorabilia or autograph card in every pack. Pulling autographed numbers, letters, and fight straps is what it is all about and it looks like this years release is taking things to new heights.
Have a look at the images and breakdown below and with a late December release date (could change), tell me that this is not a Christmas present waiting to be unwrapped.
