Just thought some of you might be interested, Upperdeck has made figurines for Satchell Paige, Josh Gibson (I put my order in), Jackie robinson, and Larry Doby.

These look really nice.

I got my Gibson statue today, beautiful!!!!!!! They did a great job with his likenes and the catching gear is fabulous. I hope more of you ordered them, there is a good chance they are sold out. Only 1,200 made.

I ordered the Gibson and Paige but I'm still waiting for mine.

The Gibson looks great on the web site and I have my fingers crossed on the Paige.

at Sportsfest at the UD booth. They were both VERY nice although Gibson looked much more like himself than Paige did........

I didn't even go to the Upper Deck booth, didn't think of it.

Regarding your comment on the Paige: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. My one peeve with some of the statues out there is that some companies didn't make an effort towards a true likeness.

Hats off to McFarlane though.

Got my Josh Gibson today. What an outstanding piece. I noticed in the catalogued that was included that the Gibson is no longer offered, but the Paige is, so Gibson may be sold out. The only thing I didn't like about the statue is that base is so large that it will not fit in any of the glass display cases I had for the Sports Impressions statues. Otherwise, a great sculp and great paint job.

I received my statues today of Gibson and Paige. The Gibson is great and the Paige is better than I was expecting and the packaging was done very well.

I give 'em 4 out of 5 stars.
