2005-06 Hardcourt UD PROMO cards
*** VERY SCARCE ***
This is a very scarce unreleased PROMO issue.
Upper Deck made these 2005-06 Hardcourt UD Promo cards
for Krause Publications for their use at a major sportscard show.
Krause did not attend the show and these cards were never released.
We obtained these cards years later at a major warehouse auction.
I have never seen complete sets or even large groups for sale elsewhere.
When singles show up on eBay even commons usually ask $1 to $3 each.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
