Manufactured Patches
Lettermen
Lettermen are manufactured letter patches. Unless noted below, there is one letter patch for each letter in each player's full name.
Each individual patch is serial-numbered and the aggregate number of patches for each player is listed below. Since all patches for each player are produced in equal quantities for each player, the number of individual patches produced can be calculated by dividing the aggregate number of patches listed below and dividing by the number of letters in the player's full name (or alternate phraseology).
Immortal Lettermen
Celebrity Lettermen
2009 coincided with the tail-end of the 2000s "poker boom" and Upper Deck included Lettermen inserts of three prominent card sharks. In addition, actor Jeremy Piven was also included.
