2003 Upper Deck Disney Treasures Series 1 kicks off the deepest trading card anthology to dig into the animated films and shorts. It’s the first of three similar sets that make up the main line. A couple of themed spinoffs came from it as well.
2003 Upper Deck Disney Treasures Series 1 Checklist Details
The 89-card base set is dedicated entirely to characters from both Disney animated movies and short cartoons. They’re designated as either “Heroes” or “Villains” based on their roles. The cards are glossy and have a hint of gold foil.
While the numbering is the easiest way to tell different cards from different series apart, there’s a way to easily spot them on the card fronts as well. Series 1 was themed around Mickey Mouse. He’s pictured in the five small squares on the front. Series 2 has Donald Duck while Series 3 highlights Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
Inserts
The key chase in 2003 Upper Deck Disney Treasures Series 1 is Reel Piece of History cards. Included one per box, these have a couple of frames from the featured film’s celluloid print. As a result, each card is a little bit different based on the images in the frames. While many of these are relatively tough to find today, sometimes cards with key moments in the frames or popular characters can draw extra attention.
The most valuable cards in the product are Sketch cards. That said, they’re exceptionally rare. Each has original art drawn on it by a Disney artist. Just ten people contributed to the checklist, each doing ten cards.
Mickey Mouse Filmography is a fairly large insert set at 45 cards. The cards highlight his various appearances in short cartoons and other specials.
Walt Disney Retrospective spotlights the career of the Hollywood visionary and some of his greatest achievements and attributes.
Finally, there’s a ten-card look at Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first animated Disney feature.
