A Recent Pick Up... Wildcat Style

When Upper Deck released the checklist for the College Mascot patches included in the 2013Upper Deck Football release I set my sights on the Wilbur the Wildcat patch. Since the release went live I have missed out a handful of times, loosing on last minute bids or insane prices, so when this one showed up with a couple of minutes left and at a very reasonable bid I tossed my hat in the ringer and waited. No last minute snipers this time, it ended up at $6.05 plus another $2 for shipping and I am now a proud owner of this kick ass University of Arizona Wilbur the Wildcat College Mascot patch.

This one is actually a win for the old memories, it brings me back to when I was a kid and my dad would take me to U. of A. football games. I think I was 7 or 8 when I went to my first game and I have been an Arizona fan ever since.

Wilbur The Wildcat Makes His Apperance

When Upper Deck released 2012 Upper Deck Football one of the big hits was the College Mascot Patches, a manu-patch depicting various college mascots. They continue with the patches in 2013 Upper Deck Football, scheduled for an April release.

 

I will cover the upcoming release in depth later on but the biggest news, for me anyway, was the inclusion of the University of Arizona’s Wilbur the Wildcat. I was disappointed last year to see AS(Who?) was included but not Arizona but Upper Deck has seen the error of their ways and made things right.
