QUOTE(marcus42 @ Sep 9 2008, 11:58 PM) I may try a box out, but it seems like DLP is relying on a ton on the RPM this year, or is just me? It's not just you. They look nice, but there are boxes that have only RPMs as the hits. Not to mention a number of other rookie insert sets. They're nice, especially the jumbos, but I'm looking for veteran hits too. I wish they would guarantee a Tools of the Trade hit in every box.

QUOTE(aceecards @ Sep 13 2008, 02:00 PM) Sorry one more comment! The question you really have to ask yourself regarding Absolute is How good is this rookie class and is your collectible rookie part of the RPM or just part of the rookie checklist! Thats very important information! Anything that cost that much for only 4 packs of cards better have a guaranteed low numbered auto in every pack and be a rookie player that's still on a team, not undrafted, and be drafted no later than the 3rd round. Sterlings are pricey too, definitely not the worth the money spent. I bought a pack the other day and got a jersey card of a kicker! A KICKER! 45 bucks shot just like that! Well, that's my opinion on it.

QUOTE(Lew47 @ Sep 14 2008, 09:29 AM) For the value, I don't like it at all this year. Too many rookies and not enough superstars/HOFERS. Seems like that's what's Absolute is catering to since the 2004 products. People who like rookies. But at least there are no guitar players or manufactured letter redemptions. seems like lately there's no legends in absolute...it is a rookie heavy product...which is ok, but I definitely like variety
