Posted on March 12, 2025 by Neil Cole
Upper Deck, the worldwide leader in entertainment and sports trading cards, games and collectibles, today launched its inaugural DC trading card set - DC Annual, marking the first full DC comics-based set available for purchase through the company's collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP). Together, Upper Deck and WBDGCP are integrating DC Super Heroes, Super-Villains, and rich storytelling with Upper Deck's history of premium quality and innovative collectibles. DC Annual will provide collectors and fans a new way to enjoy their favorite characters including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Joker.
The Upper Deck DC Annual trading card set allows collectors to reflect on the best comic book moments by reliving the past year of storylines, characters, crossovers and major events. Featured in the annual set is an array of trading cards including inserts such as serial numbered holograms, sparkling foils, lenticular cards and cover image art. Autographs can be found from creators Tom Taylor, Nicola Scott, Mark Waid and more. There will also be signature Sketch Cards featuring original art including Ready-for-Action Sketch Booklets.
"Since we announced the addition of the DC license to our entertainment portfolio last year, we've received incredible response and demand from collector and fan communities eager to add the iconic DC Universe to their collections," said Travis Rhea, Director of Entertainment Brands at Upper Deck. "Leading with one of our most popular and storied trading card brands marks a historic moment for Upper Deck, and we can't wait to continue to produce best-in-class DC trading cards featuring the world-renowned DC comic book characters and storylines."
Upper Deck will release additional DC trading card sets throughout 2025, including Skybox Metal Universe Batman, 2024-25 DC Annual, and Fleer Ultra Superman.
"As fans of DC ourselves here at Upper Deck, we're all very excited for what's to come from Warner Bros. Discovery and DC this year," added Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck. "As the comic book universe continues to evolve and we see an evolution of the fan-favorite Superman franchise, now is the time to start building your collection of quality trading cards that we anticipate will be a hot commodity for years to come."
