Well, the 2026 Lot throws a bit of a curveball today. I don't like keeping track of multisport or mixed sets, and here we have one of the big mixed sets - 2023 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions. It is a 150 card base set - 100 pure base cards and a 50 card subset on top of it.
I don't expect to collect the set, so split the cards up for tracking based on the subject material, if you were wondering, which will be reflected in my tracking at the end.
That being said, let's see who we have here...
It is cool to see names you wouldn't otherwise getting cards in a more mainstream release, like Sharapova for Tennis. It's also a place where you get the odd rookie card, which the set nicely notes on the front in case you were wondering.
I do expect fottball and basketball will likely dominate, with a bit of baseball in as well, but let's see.
No stats on the back, just a solid write up of who the person is. This is definitely a preferred way to go to me because the stats would be so different for each depending on the sport, so I like the way these will look consistent across the set. The colour scheme is nice to, but as a Jays and Leaf fan, I may be a bit partial to blue.
Nice - track and field getting some love as well.
It also appears the set was kind enough to group the horizontal cards together as well - so maybe this set wouldn't be too bad in a binder....
If you remain unpersuaded, you can always include that Brooks Lee base card the next time you send an envelope my way. For some reason, I don't already have it in my 2/14 collection.
