Upper Deck released a statement acknowledging, kind of, the parting of Kobe and saying they have a signing scheduled soon for Kobe to fulfill his outstanding redemptions.
Though this isn't baseball, Panini clearly is here to play hardball.

Here's the latest jab from UD, as posted on their Facebook site:
"We would like to remind collectors that Upper Deck is STILL the exclusive home for autographs of LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Look for new autograph cards of these two superstars in future Upper Deck products. And remember, it's just not Basketball without them."
