Upper Deck, the renowned sports and entertainment collectibles company, has expanded its roster of exclusive athletes with two significant signings: NBA standout De’Aaron Fox and the world's top-ranked women’s tennis player, Iga Świątek.
De’Aaron Fox, the dynamic 25-year-old point guard for the Sacramento Kings and the NBA’s first-ever Clutch Player of the Year, has entered into an exclusive memorabilia deal with Upper Deck. Fox, who also earned his inaugural All-Star and All-NBA Team selections last season, is currently dominating the court with an impressive average of 29.6 points and 6.2 assists per game. Fans and collectors will be excited to find a range of items including signed Kings jerseys—some featuring the "2022-23 Player of the Year" inscription—autographed basketballs, and specially designed autograph prints.
On the tennis front, Iga Świątek, the young phenom who has clinched four major singles titles—including the French Open in 2020, 2022, and 2023, and the US Open in 2022—has been on top of the WTA rankings for 76 consecutive weeks. Upper Deck celebrates Świątek's achievements by releasing her first-ever trading card commemorating her latest WTA Championship victory. The agreement ensures that Upper Deck will be the exclusive producer of collectibles bearing Świątek’s image and autograph.
The collaboration with Świątek doesn't end with the trading cards. Collectors and fans can anticipate her inclusion in other Upper Deck offerings such as the 2023 Goodwin Champions and 2023 Skybox Metal Universe Champions. Additionally, she will be signing autographed memorabilia for the brand.
Both De’Aaron Fox and Iga Świątek have signed multi-year agreements with Upper Deck, ensuring that fans will have ongoing opportunities to own a piece of sports history. These partnerships underscore Upper Deck's commitment to bringing enthusiasts closer to their heroes by offering authentic and high-quality sports memorabilia.
