Pleased to announce that the California Legends Collective is creating a series of playing cards featuring the players of the 2022 Cal football team. Every player who has registered with us will be featured and all will share in the profits generated from these sales.

Every pack will contain cards from 14 players, randomly selected. Every 10th pack will also contain a special metallic card signed by one of our star players. Buyers won't know which player has a card in which pack, or which pack has a special collector's edition metallic card, until after they open the pack.

We will have the cards available for sale at the Big Game on November 19th in a special section of the kiosk located on Goldman Plaza pre-game (the one run by Follett - look for a register selling nothing but cards). If any are left we will also be selling them in the Fall Rush store on Bancroft for the week after the Big Game and after that potentially at CAlegends.com. Although I would hope we won't have many left to sell online at that point.

Price will be $15.00 per pack (including taxes). Buy multiple packs! Collect them all! Great stocking stuffers!

Go Bears!

Any chance these can go directly to the website after the Big Game for those of us out of the immediate area?

We agreed to give Follett first crack at selling these in Fall Rush. Part of the price we're paying for them letting us use their space to sell at the stadium for free. Which is awesome of them. But if there are any left over, we will sell them online.

Makes sense.

I already showed the images to both my elementary school boys. They are over the moon. I'll have to find a way to buy them even if it means selling my first born (this way, I get rid of half the problem).

This is cool. Of course it would be nice to pull an autographed metallic card!

Might it be possible for a checklist of the players to be posted? Looking forward to supporting the Legends with an online purchase!

Go the website app by clicking the link and type in "football" on the search bar. That will show all the players with profiles (and hence cards)

Cards are in the house! Drove up to Berkeley yesterday for the arrival. They look great. Ran into Mike Saffell and gave him a pack. He didn't get one of the signed metallic ones so your odds just increased by 1/5000.

Again we'll be offering these for the first time in the tent on Goldman Plaza before the Big Game. We are using Square so only credit cards with a chip or a digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc) will work. We won't have a cash box. If you manage to secure the Axe for us I might take that as well. Go Bears!

Any way to order a specific players card?

Nope. Honestly that's kind of the point of selling them in packs. But we are giving each player a pack. Hope is they'll trade among themselves. Guessing some fans will do the same.

Bump. Going on sale for the first time tomorrow on Goldman Plaza before the Big Game. We'll be selling on a separate table in the Follett/Fall Rush store inside the stadium. Don't miss out. Go Bears!

Bought 4 packs and nabbed a Jackson Sirmon autographed card.

Very cool idea and great execution!

Got a signed Jackson Sirmon one as well! I traded Trond Grizell's mom her son's card for a Sturdivant card. DaShaun Harris's mom gave me her Ott card since she knew I wanted it.

Happy to do some trading

Glad you liked them. We will sell them again at UCLA. After that online at CAlegends.com.

I had a hard time finding the table, but when I did, I got 4 packs, one for each kid in our group... and one for me. The kids really liked them and my buddy's grandson scored a golden Craig Woodson. My household got a non-golden Jayden Ott, a Jack Plummer, a Brett Johnson and more.

Another cool aspect: We also got some cards of walk-ons who, frankly I didn't know. I'm sure it's great for them to have their own cards. Something to show their kids, down the road.

I went a bit nuts on the packs and now I have almost every card in the base set.

I will quite possibly still buy more packs, but am also happy to trade for an Akili Calhoun, Dario Longhetto, or a Jeffrey Johnson if anyone has one of those! I plan to attend the UCLA game.

We found a company in Boise to make them. Actually Jeremy Newberry put us in touch which was awesome. Boise State produced a set for their team but virtually no one else has done this yet. Players were super excited (we gave them all packs).

bad news abt the table moving, but once I found it I scored my packs (that's right, packs, plural). Haven't opened 'em yet.

Sebasta, great idea - any chance these could be produced every year? As you said, we could get ahead of the curve

and yeah, that crown was fantastic

What's the cost?

(I have thousands of baseball and football cards from the 70's and 80s)

I could see doing this annually, and then if popular printing retro years of starters.

Table was really hard to find among all the commotion...and I was looking for it. Might I suggest having one of the CA Legends table members stand in the crowd directing fans to the table?

We did post a bunch of handmade signs at the main tent directing people to Gate 2. Also had KP walking up and down the concourse shouting out where to buy the trading cards (bless his heart). But yeah, it's tough to make this really stand out.

The cards absolutely rock. One more reason why kids might want to go... also us former kids. The price point makes everyone want to buy more than one and most folks like being able to support our NIL collective. The walk-ons probably love having their own card and there are tons of ideas for the future ("Cal Players of the '90s", "Former Cal QBs", etc... honestly, I could picture collecting these... makes me feel sorta like a kid again... well, until my joints creak).

As far as "game day experience", look at how far we've come since August! Hats off to Sebastabear and others who are involved. I feel like if we get a few more pieces in place, this thing is turning around! Go Bears!

Very cool stuff!!!!!!!!! Quality cards.

Maybe there can be an event where CA Legends members (and non-members paying a price at the door) can meet the players for autographs of these cards. Limit the number of people attending that way the guys don't get too tired.
