Frequently Asked Question What are buy back cards? In the mid 1990’s, Upper Deck began going back out into the marketplace to "buy back" our own cards for use in current products. Then these cards generally get autographed by the athlete on them and they are inserted into another product. These buy back autographed cards are affixed with a serialized Upper Deck Authenticated hologram and have separate certificates of authenticity included with them in the pack, so that collectors know the autographed card is real.

Glossary Term Insert ratio - These numbers are associated with cards that are not commonly available within the packs of cards. The ratio indicates what the odds are of finding such a card within packs. This is generally communicated on the packaging of a product with a ratio after a specific name, such as “Top Hitters 1:24,” which would indicate that the subset or insert set called Top Hitters is short printed (vs. the rest of the set) and will fall at an approximate ratio of 1 in every 24 packs. Sometimes, just the total number of cards produced for a specific short printed card is announced, as these cards are generally sequentially numbered and no approximate ratios are available at that time.
