Yep. My apologies go to Solid133. I read his post quickly, then rushed to get snacks so I wouldn't miss the show. I should have known better to think anyone would suggest such a thing. Very fair recommendation Solid133.

I wouldn't count on 07NT as in the past month it's become impossible to find. In fact even 06 has disappeared and when you do find it it costs $200 more than it did a few weeks ago.

I believe 06 Redemptions are about to expire anyways, if they haven't already.

I do believe that the NT for the most part is GONE 07, too Expensive 08, harder to find and more expensive now 06.
Triple threads I love but the hits just don't cut it. 07 TTT had a better lineup than 08 anyhow...
I know a lot of people rag on the Sterling. Not just the group but across collecting boards. I don't get it though.
It is one of the first products to dissappear from the bigger outlets. Someone is buying it and liking it. Several auto's, G/U, duals, logo. etc... It's bang as far as spread is pretty nice I think.
Hockey and NBA I have no clue or complaints with the decisions.
Baseball is 1000 rookies every year and 3 sell so what's it matter laugh.gif

Basically just wanted my 2 cents in for sterling in FB. I'd really try for 2003 SP Authentic so I could have a shot at what I want, but I believe other than me the Cowboys collector would be the only one to agree.

Happy debating gathering.gif

As far as The Cup goes, I'm totally for it - and in agreement that it should be part of the mix pretty much every month.

I might throw in a suggestion that even 2005-06 and 2006-07 The Cup get mixed in on occasion. If I recall correctly, there weren't very many redemptions to worry about in the product (always a concern with older product etc.) and making a wider variety of hockey teams worth drafting.

Prophecy Guy


The 1st rule of Group Breaks is that you do not message Prophecy Guy about your group breaks.

The 2nd rule of Group Breaks is that you do NOT message Prophecy Guy about your group breaks.

The 3rd rule of Group Breaks is that if you can’t take the time to spell out words like “you” or “for”, I can’t trust that you’ll take the time to take care of my cards.

The 4th rule of Group Breaks is that if you incessantly bump your group break thread after I’ve joined it, I will drop out rather than be an accessory to obnoxiousness.

More to come…

i love the cup!!!! 05-06 is sick expensive, though. I also like ultimate hockey. they really did well with the 08-09.

basketball: exquisite,ultimate, black is cool but to few hits to be worth it, i think

baseball: prime cuts, ultimate, spa

football: NT, ultimate, exquisite.

that's my opinion, for what it is worth. I would like to see multiple years just not too far back. 06 NT football is expired redemptions.

thanks,

doug

My suggestions based on the list Chris provided.

+ means I like the product
= means not a fan of the product but I can live with it
- means I'd prefer we went with something else
If I'm not familiar enough with the product I left it blank

Please keep in mind these are just my opinions!

Football:
Exquisite +
National Treasures +
Absolute Memorabilia +
Bowman Sterling +
UD Premier +
Triple Threads - (not enough hits for the $ in my opinion)
SP Rookie Threads = (don't seem to be enough big hits in what I've seen)
Ultimate - (don't like 08 only having one hit)


Baseball:
Exquisite +
Prime Cuts +
UD Premier +
Bowman Sterling +
Topps Sterling = (I don't like nearly a whole box of hits going to one person)
Triple Threads - (not enough hits for the $)
UD Ballpark Collection
Donruss Signatures
Ultimate = (don't like 08 having only 1 hit)


Basketball:
UD Black +
Radiance = (some killer hits but I've seen SO MANY bad boxes)
UD Premier +
Exquisite +
SP Rookie Threads = (lots of hits, not a lot of value)
Bowman Sterling +
Topps Echelon
Topps Letterman - (just never been a fan of Letterman, any sport)
Triple Threads = (not enough hits for the $)
Chronology +
Ultimate +


Hockey:
CUP
OPC Premier +
Sweet Shot
Ultimate
UD Black
SP GU +

UGH! Mike... Premier and Signature are awful products... especially Signature... who wants a Spud Webb auto numbered to 1899? Or Hawes two versions at over 1600... tons of worthless signatures... and Premier with all those ugly MFG patches of the players... I sure hope we don't use either of these products for Bkb...

Since both my picks are in football I'll suggest EXQUISITE / NT/ ULTIMATE and BOWMAN STERLING has always been a favorite of mine and would add to a nice mix and change for the football side. Agree with axing any products that only deliver a few pack hits such as TTT, etc.

Whatever we pick in all sports we need to ensure that any REDEMPTIONS are still valid in any product chosen so if we go back as far as '06 and possibly some '07 we need to be careful.

Definitely The Cup in hockey.

Exquisite and NT in Football. The rest, I don't know enough to offer an opinion. Thanks for the break Chris!

i too am cool with just about anything you all choose. however, i am kinda confused on the lack of love for 06 NT. i know i have opened probably 10 or so cases myself and seen chris open countless cases. 06 NT is by far i think the best NT set to date. and i wouldnt worry too much about redemptions. i think chris can attest to this, that there are just not that many redemption in this set. i would guess out of 10 cases i saw just one redemption for a brian calhoun auto rookie.

just my .02 to try to keep 06 NT in the mix if possible.


oh and i have broken quite a bit of ud black and......LOVE IT. some of the best looking cards i have ever seen.

My thoughts are Prime Cuts are real nice if we can get a good price.
as i look through hockey it does appear that The Cup is the product
and years are flexable. Basketball I am not to sure on. Football
I think it would be nice to see some more Exquisite or NT although I
would rather see 08 than 06.

06 NT? I love it..

Problems (as I see them)
1. Redemptions
2. Price and with it drying up costing more now.
3. Since this isn't a HIGH END group, just getting seven cards is a bit cheap.

Everyone wants NT, Exquisite and Prime Cuts...From what I remember as an original Exquisite Club breaker with Chris. $120 and up was only getting us like 6 boxes and the price ran recurring members away. At 75 I think a little more realistic products will make this group last longer.
Not to mention we couldn't even squeeze in the hockey last time.
No I don't want 2005 Topps Chrome laugh.gif (Old Joke for some) laugh.gif
I just can't expect to get at 75 what it is I get in a break that is considerabbly more.

I don't care what we get, just as long as I know when and where to send the money. However, I'm not a fan of Prime Cuts, Ballpark, TTT, Letterman, and Sterling.
