editions of Upper Deck Trilogy basketball, 2005/2006
Trilogy Hockey features plexi-glass cards made
famous in Upper Deck Ice.
 Each
pack contains either a plexi-glass card, an
autograph card or a memorabilia card.
The plexi-glass cards are very popular and
very striking. Collectors must carefully remove
a white protective film from the front of the
card. These plexi-glass cards are serial numbered
to 599 copies.
Plexi-glass card autographs include Trilogy
Ice Scripts which features sport prints of current
superstars such as Vincent Lecavalier, Saku
Koivu and Mats Sundin as well as sports prints
of legends such as Ray Bourque.
Upper Deck Trilogy rookie cards are serial-numbered
to 999 copies and three per box on average can
be found. Trilogy rookies are numbered 171-220,
with the key cards being Sidney Crosby (currently
booking at $350) and Alexander Ovechkin (booking
at $250).
Collectors should also keep their eyes out
for Personal Scripts, which feature short prints
of NHL heroes of the past such as Guy Lafleur,
Cam Neely and Bobby Hull.
Also look for a Gordie Howe Personal Script,
which would be an exciting addition to any sports
card collection. Each 9-pack box will deliver
3 game jersey cards, 3 Frozen In Time sequentially
numbered plexi-glass cards, 2 Autographs and
1 Ice Scripts Autographed plexi-glass card.
