“This means a lot because I lost mine and it has a lot of sentimental value for me!!” Helterbrand said in his Instagram post.
“EJ (Sabandal), you just made a new friend today and I will start collecting again and what a better way than your own Upper Deck card!!! Mad love bro!!!” Helterbrand added.
The league had secured a deal with American trading card company Upper Deck following the launch of PBA Properties in 2000.
At the time, Upper Deck had a license to produce NBA trading cards, and it used the same templates and designs to produce the PBA version.

Alaska coach Jeffrey Cariaso said the team is fully committed to sign Vic Manuel a multi-year extension even after the veteran forward expressed his desire to be traded.
Cariaso met with Manuel Friday night to shed light on his trade demand which surfaced through a Spin.ph story that came out earlier in the day. Manuel was quoted as saying that he felt dismayed over the Aces’ offer of a one-year deal.
“I met with him last night and he was able to share with me his concerns, plans and desires. He candidly expressed that his contract situation at almost 34 years old, makes him constantly think about his family’s life after his career,” Cariaso said Saturday morning.
