Card Collector Digest just posted about Upper Deck's move down the street to a smaller building.
The old building was designed to do a lot more than Upper Deck does at its headquarters now, so it makes sense to downsize, whether or not they're printing more or less cards.

| UD's Old Headquarters |
Looking at the two buildings via satellite, it certainly looks like a step down, though. I've been to Upper Deck's old headquarters, and it was a classy, "We are very important in our industry" building. The "street view" of the new headquarters shows that it isn't just a warehouse building, but it doesn't command the respect of the old office building; in fact, it's quite nondescript. The CCD article mentions why Upper Deck would downsize their headquarters, but I have to wonder how long they'll last as a company, with all the troubles they seem to have.
The building Upper Deck is moving into isn't custom-built to their specifications, like their old HQ - it was home to a bio-tech firm. There are several biotech companies still located in the area.
