“We’ve been very pleased with the performance of 2009 MLB Goodwin Champions,” said Upper Deck’s baseball brand manager, Gabriel Garcia. “We think collectors are going to fall in love with it all over again once the exchange cards for the Landmarks, Entomology and Thoroughbred cards when they start shipping out next month. Collectors have never seen anything like these and we know they will absolutely love them.”
The base set is drawing rave reviews on the strength of its great design, affordable price tag, rich and varied checklist. Throw in large stack of short prints, it is no wonder that many such collectors have chosen 2009 Goodwin Champions as their next big undertaking.
Short Prints
Goodwin Champions is packed with short prints.so much so, that it's easy to be a bit overwhelmed by them. As such we have created a guide to break down each of the sets base card and insert short prints:
Base Set Short Prints
Cards 1-150: Commonly seeded;
Cards 151-190: Short Prints (1:2 hobby packs on average);
Cards 191-210: Super Short Prints (2:1 hobby boxes on average); and
Cards 211-252: Mini High-Series Exclusives (42 of the 192 cards that create the mini card set).
What’s also noteworthy is that the mini parallels exist in the basic card format from cards 1-150 but then the final 42 cards in the set are only available in the mini card format. Foil versions of the mini parallels are limited to just 88 total sets. There is one other considerably more limited variation known as the “Moonlight” set that features the following players with a dark background and full moon behind them.
