The anticipation and excitement are palpable as the Call of Duty League (CDL) unveils its latest trading card collection for the 2022-23 season. Available now on Upper Deck’s website, these cards promise to showcase the best players and memorable moments from Call of Duty: Vanguard and Modern Warfare 2.
This release marks a significant moment for CDL fans, as it introduces trading cards for the Boston Breach, a new team that made its debut during the Vanguard season. Additionally, followers of the league are eagerly awaiting the inclusion of rookie cards for emerging stars like Scrap and the possibility of his teammate Ghosty making an appearance, pending the finalization of the checklist.
The roots of competitive Call of Duty stretch back to the franchise’s inception in 2003, but it wasn’t until 2019 with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that the official Call of Duty League was established. Since then, CDL has revolutionized esports with its city-based team structure and highly structured competitive environment.
Upper Deck’s collaboration with CDL in 2022 paved the way for the release of trading cards featuring players from the Modern Warfare (2019) and Cold War seasons. While this partnership marked a significant milestone, it was not the first time Call of Duty had ventured into the world of trading cards. In 2021, a special set was created in collaboration with Mountain Dew Game Fuel, showcasing top players such as Seth “Scump” Abner and Thomas “ZooMaa” Paparatto.
Known for its expertise in the world of sports collectibles, Upper Deck holds licenses for both the Call of Duty League and the Overwatch League. Over the years, the company has released various trading card sets, including the unique 2022 Upper Deck Call of Duty Game Dated Moments series, which celebrated memorable events and rising stars like Amer “Pred” Zulbeari, a pivotal player in OpTic Texas’s World Championship victory.
As the sixth season of the Call of Duty League unfolds, building upon the legacy of the Call of Duty World League, the release of the 2022-23 trading cards adds an extra layer of excitement for fans and players. Many professionals have expressed their enthusiasm for collecting the cards, further enhancing the vibrant community that surrounds the CDL.
For enthusiasts of the game and dedicated collectors, the latest trading card set offers a chance to own a piece of Call of Duty League history. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the collection on Upper Deck’s website and secure your favorite cards from the action-packed 2022-23 season.
