Tiger Woods & Rory McIlroy Signed 2014 Upper Deck Black Dual National Rivals Patch Card 7/10
The golf world received a jolt of energy at the 2025 Masters Tournament when its most marketable athlete in Rory McIlroy took the heightened viewership on a rollercoaster ride that resulted in a much deserved and anticipated Green Jacket ceremony - one with lasting impact. It was the fourth and final major that eluded the former curly-haired child prodigy.
The Monday after the Masters featured a Sports Illustrated article uncovering the impact Rory McIlroy's Masters win and Grand Slam completion has had on his collectibles market, featuring one of his best hobby entries here - the 'National Rivals Signatures' dual auto patch out of just ten shared with fellow slammer Tiger Woods. Silver on-card autos just below their respective United States and Northern Ireland flag patches boosted this card of the last two members of the most exclusive club in golf, only entrants of this millennium, to $5,535 PRE-McIlroy Masters win. The premium super short print has endless eye appeal, ranking among the top examples that modern golf cards have ever seen.
The McIlroy rookie year set insert card is a 'booklet card' numbered in silver 07/10 ('07 being the year he turned professional) on the front side, allotting each golf luminary a full card's worth of space to sprawl out. The stitched flag patches provide the only color of this 'UD Black' composition. This ultra high-end product was a new concept for the golf and Upper Deck marriage in 2014. The Upper Deck Exquisite product brought a then staggering $600 per box carrying only 6 cards in total, UD Black branded cards inserted in. Almost unheard of was $100 per card in golf retail over a decade ago.
