Since Upper Deck can't use any NBA pictures, why not....?

[exzibit3]

...create a set which has NBA players but have them in their business suits or similar attire? I've done my version below. You can see a faded background of the triangle offense. The back of the card will have a signature basketball play/set that the player has commonly used in his career (hence the set name, "signature sets") in this case the triangle offense. Thoughts?

Looks great mate, I think the college stuff has run it's course so something like this would be an improvement.

@exzhibit great idea! here's my contribution. Arena Arrivals, since players now have to be in business like attire when they enter the arena

Michael, I dunno about anyone else but I can't view that pic

Great Idea - I just see one problem. Upper Deck doesn't have a contract with the NBA Properties or the the NBA PLayers Association. they can only print college/HS cards of players they have under contract - Jordan, LeBron, Roy, Rose.

 

[ozballer23]

Think they should do what press pass does, concerntrate on new drafted players and have the occasional legend/veteran in their products.

upper deck should just concentrate on flooding the market with jordan autos
