After much consideration and review, the Upper Deck Company has decided to make the 2008 the final production year for our Sports Licensed Die Cast product line.

This decision was very difficult but we believe this is the best direction for the Upper Deck organization so that we can concentrate our resources on developing current and new business opportunities. Upper Deck would like to thank all of our customers whose hard work and dedication made our Sports Licensed Die Cast products fan favorites for our consumers of all ages. The success that we have all enjoyed in the last three years is a direct result of your passion and commitment to the die cast business and to the Upper Deck Company. We look forward to continuing our partnership with you on memorabilia and on exciting new products that will drive incremental sales and profits for all of us now and in the future.

 Thank you for your support,

 John Skrajewski
Vice President of Sales
The Upper Deck Company
