The excitement for the latest release of Call of Duty League (CDL) trading cards for the 2022-23 season is palpable as fans eagerly get their hands on the newest collectibles. Available now on Upper Deck’s website, these cards are set to showcase players and highlights from Call of Duty: Vanguard and Modern Warfare 2, following the successful format of the previous year’s release.
This release is particularly special as it introduces the first trading cards for the Boston Breach, a newcomer in the Vanguard season, as well as OpTic Texas, a team born from the merger of Dallas Empire and OpTic Gaming. Fans are also looking forward to seeing rookie cards for rising stars like Scrap, and possibly his teammate Ghosty, depending on the final checklist.
The world of competitive Call of Duty has a long and storied history, dating back to the franchise’s inception in 2003. The official Call of Duty League was established in 2019 with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, bringing city-based teams and structured competition to the forefront of esports.
In 2022, Upper Deck partnered with CDL to release a trading card set highlighting players from the Modern Warfare (2019) and Cold War seasons. Building on this success, the current release adds to the legacy of Call of Duty trading cards, which saw a special collaboration with Mountain Dew Game Fuel in 2021 featuring top players like Seth “Scump” Abner and Thomas “ZooMaa” Paparatto.
Upper Deck has been a prominent player in the world of esports collectibles, holding licenses for both the Call of Duty League and the Overwatch League. With a history of unique offerings like the 2022 Upper Deck Call of Duty Game Dated Moments series, which celebrated memorable moments and rookies such as Amer “Pred” Zulbeari, fans can expect nothing short of excellence from the latest trading card set.
As the sixth season of the Call of Duty League continues to push boundaries, evolving from its predecessor, the Call of Duty World League, the release of the 2022-23 trading cards adds to the competitive fervor surrounding the sport. The transition from open tournaments to a city-based format has brought a new level of excitement and engagement among players and fans alike.
