Pujols Signs Exclusive Memorabilia Deal With
Upper Deck Authenticated
CARLSBAD, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire/
-- Albert Pujols strikes an impressive figure
as he stands in the batter's box, waiting
to crush the next pitch in to the outfield
seats. Upper Deck Authenticated is also known
for delivering the big hit in the collectible
memorabilia industry. Today, Upper Deck Authenticated
(UDA) announced an exclusive memorabilia pact
with 2006 World Series hero Albert Pujols.
"Upper
Deck and Albert Pujols know how create one-of-a-kind
moments where baseball fans and collectors
can feel close to the on-field action,"
said Tim Muret, Vice President for Upper Deck
Authenticated. "Pujols has had many big
moments on and off the field, it is our goal
to capture those moments in time and create
the ultimate unique authenticated memorabilia
pieces. Albert Pujols shares the same vision
