Description

2007 Sweet Spot is a 142-card set released by Upper Deck, exclusively to Hobby outlets, December 7th, 2007. The base set consists of 100 veterans (all serial-numbered to 850 copies) and 42 Sweet Beginnings Rookie Signatures.

2007 marked a change in Sweet Spot's distribution and packaging. Responding to complaints regarding pack searchers, Upper Deck switched from traditional fin-sealed mylar packs, to tin boxes. Each six card tin box will contain two base cards serial-numbered to 850 copies, two Sweet Swatch Memorabilia cards, a Sweet Beginning Rookie Signature, and a Sweet Spot Signature signed on leather or wood.

Distribution

Six cards per tin box (MSRP: $120). 20 tins per case. Hobby only.
