Brag Photo: UD Partners with Sports Images for a BIG Football Promotion

As many sports card fans are aware, Upper Deck is the exclusive home for collegiate licensed trading cards and with the NFL Draft right around the corner, football fans want trading cards of the top draft picks. Upper Deck brings pigskin fans exactly what they are looking for when 2011 Upper Deck Football hits store shelves tomorrow with rookie and autographed cards of all the top draft picks! We featured images of many of the rookies signing for the set previously right here on the Upper Deck Blog.

We shared some reasons as to why collectors should purchase through Certified Diamond Dealers last week, but here is just another reason. To help celebrate this giant release, UD partnered with Sports Images to run a variety of Upper Deck Tailgate Parties with shops this week where fans could receive some larger than life blow-up football cards. Just take a look at these huge cards featuring top rookies and legends that our Certified Diamond Dealers will be giving away later on this week.

UD produced five blow-ups of Doug Flutie, Barry Sanders, John Elway, Jim Kelly, Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker and Mark Ingram. Each shop will receive two blow-up cards.

Football fanatics are encouraged to reach out to these participating Certified Diamond Dealers to find out how they can get the chance to take home these enormous collectibles (NEW SHOPS ADDED IN RED):
