With a name like Ultimate Collection, it's almost imperative to keep evolving as the years go on. Upper Deck has found various methods of accomplishing that with its Ultimate Collection Baseball brand, including tinkering with the rookie cards.
For 2008, that means giving said rookie cards a giant jersey swatch... then having the players sign autographs right on the swatch. It's a combination that's bound to go over big with baseball collectors, especially for true rookie cards of players like Evan Longoria.
Ultimate Collection Baseball is expected to go on sale shortly before the end of 2008, but Upper Deck shared images of several of the product's rookie cards ahead of its release, as seen in the following card gallery.
