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.

Jamie Malonzo is glad to have someone like PBA legend Danny Seigle play a big influence in him being chosen as the second overall pick of the NorthPort Batang Pier.
“He’s always shooting me some advice,” the former La Salle star said after being chosen by the Batang Pier in the PBA Rookie Draft held Sunday, March 14.
Seigle was mainly responsible for recruiting Malonzo, who joined the Green Archers for a one-and-done UAAP campaign in 2019 after a US NCAA stint with Portland State University.
Malonzo said getting plenty of advice from Seigle, whose PBA career was highlighted by a decorated stint with San Miguel Beer early in his pro stint, helped a great deal.
