However those signed in gold pen game tickets or the Luminous subsets may have been the cards of the year in my opinion!

it's low because it's a complete re-fig from last year. Last year it was a hit (letterman) or 3 hits per pack. Now it's 16 packs with 5 hits...seems similar to Icons hits wise, maybe a little better value.

These middle of the year products are what destroy value. EVERYTHING is overproduced. Absolute may be a great product to bust, but if its this easy to pull a Stafford/Sanchez auto it kind of takes the fun chase factor out of it.

very true!

End of the year High end like NT, Exquisite and whatever Topps rolls out this year will really dampen the early and mid level releases moreso than these!

Imagine what Sanchez stuff will go for if Jets are playoff rolling come NT or Exquisite?

[Soxarethechamps05]

According to blowout they pushed pack the release of SP Authentic baseball to the 13th and triple threads to the 21st. Check out the pre-sell page to see what I'm talking about.

[Soxarethechamps05]

But for 09 SP Authentic Baseball upperdeck.com still has the release date for today.......

[aceecards]

black hockey was also pushed back to 10/16!

[Derek4484]

They have to stop all of these push backs of release dates!

They should set the day that the product will be done in thier opinion and add two weeks.

IMO the products are done. They are just trying to bide some time in order to help the wholesalers and storefronts move the stuff that is still sitting on shelves, the stuff nobody wants unless its dirt cheap. Have you noticed the losses/discounts that have been offered on various wholesale sites? You can also blame it to some degree on college uniform products that are still out there that many folks bust initially because they just can't wait for the pro uniform type releases to come out....I waited this long, I can wait some more if need be.
