Be A Player announces the Ultimate Interactive Card - "Made to Order"!
Made to Order Inserts will be found in the 2002 Ultimate Memorabilia 2nd Edition (slated for release in May). There will be 10 Made to Order Redemption cards in the Ultimate Memorabilia and each can be redeemed for a special one-of-a-kind memorabilia card, and when we say one of a kind, we mean one of a kind. This is not a one-card subset with multiple copies printed. This is one card with a print run of one.
Here is how it works. The lucky collector who pulls a Made to Order redemption
card will be entitled to a special custom-made memorabilia card that
is truly one of a kind. The collector will be instructed to visit our website at
www.baptradingcards.com
"I've been in this business for quite a while," says In the Game President Dr.
Brian H. Price, "and I pride myself and my company as being an innovative force
in the hobby. This is yet another in a series of steps we've taken throughout the
years to provide hobbyists with something unique and exciting. What makes this
special is the level of interactivity. Yes, there are lots of one-of-one cards on
the market but nobody has ever enjoyed the honor of choosing which player they
would like featured on a card and then having a manufacturer produce it for them.
"This is crowded and highly competitive market and we're always trying to stay
one step ahead of the other card companies. Some of our other innovations have
been copied but I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The Made
to Order card, though, just may be our greatest idea yet."
The Ultimate Memorabilia 2nd Edition will consist of more than 40 different
subsets featuring nearly 900 different game-worn memorabilia cards. The greatest
players in the history of the game will be highlighted including current stars
such as Mario Lemieux, Patrick Roy, Steve Yzerman and rookie sensation Ilya
Kovalchuk along with retired legends Maurice Richard, Terry Sawchuk, Wayne
Gretzky and the one and only Mr. Hockey®.
Every card in Ultimate Memorabilia 2nd Edition will be professionally graded and
slabbed by Beckett Grading Services. The production run will not exceed 50 copies
for any of the subsets. In fact, the production runs for many of the subsets will
be significantly lower than 50. Each card will be packaged in a black velvet
pouch and there will be one card per pack.
In the Game has been producing Be A Player hockey cards since the 1998-99 season.
The company's product lineup for 2001-02 features six
brands including Be A Player Memorabilia (released August 2001), Parkhurst
(released December 2001), Between the Pipes (released March
2002), Signature Series, the Ultimate Memorabilia 2nd Edition as well as the
Update Series.
