The 2009-10 Exquisite Collection was Upper Deck's last Exquisite release (for now at least) after Panini was able to grab hold of the NBA sports cards licensing monopoly.
In the product, Upper Deck bought back old Exquisite cards from the previous releases and have them signed by various players.
Redemption cards were then issued for these buybacks.
I was able to purchase four of them off eBay:
DWIGHT HOWARD 2009-10 NBA EXQUISITE 08/09 BASE CARD PARALLEL NO #ING CD#3
DWIGHT HOWARD 2009-10 NBA EXQUISITE 06/07 BASE CARD NO #ING CD#30
CHRIS PAUL 2009-10 NBA EXQUISITE 06/07 BASE CARD NO #ING CD#27
VINCE CARTER 2009-10 NBA EXQUISITE 06/07 BASE CARD NO #ING CD#25
I then set to redeem them at Upper Deck's redemption page.
After some simple steps, I was given a listing of the redemption cards in your account with Status for each player as: Athlete committed to signing soon, please be patient.
I was then given a message to allow up to 12-16 weeks for delivery.
Whew! That's a long wait.
I'll post the redeemed cards after 3-4 months.
Ciao!
UPDATE April 6, 2011: After 8 months, the redeemed card for the Vince Carter finally arrived.
No sign of the Howards and Paul though.
