With a whopping 1 card per pack(for 75 bucks) and manufactured bat barralles(if your luckey with pizza sauce from the manufactuer on it! PETG autos and over 1,000 1/1 AUs(including all your favorite minor league could have beens!) But wait! Four 400 buck a box we'll even toss in an extra pack!

So know for those who dont understand it:

MANUFACTURED bat barralles
75 bucks a pack(im thinking)
1 card per pack(yippe mellow.gif )
2 packs per box(um yay mellow.gif )

LOL! i love that, anyways. What i am saying is this just looks really dumb. Facimile bats? 1 card per pack and 2 packs per box? Just something i am STAYING away from.

Amazing....if I'm not mistaken, didn't they do a Black set in basketball as some part of a redemption program???? Why in blazes are they going to try and push a set with so many subjects (90% of them probably worthless) on the market for $75 per pack. I looked at the web site and they are really nice looking cards but I'm definately going to pass. mad.gif

I think the thing that gets me the most is 1 card per pack and 2 packs per box? If i dont pull a Dice K...... its enough to put anybody in a bad mood.

UD Black was pretty successful with basketball, I wonder how it'll be received on the baseball side..

I dont know that this product will sell for $75.00 per pack..

Maybe per 2 pack box id expect that.

Im seeing an attempt here by UD to crack the high end into a retail offering possibly?

Where is everyone seeing the checklist and the box/pack breakdown. I checked the website and downloaded the pdfs and couldn't find that information.

Junk. For that price I will stick with a full box of something else and have at least 70-80 cards to throw against the wall when I get a redemption from the box. laugh.gif

Of course it will, all this high-end junk sells out.

That is because at $75 a pop you do not have to produce as much of it to make a profit. laugh.gif

I am not crazy about paying close to 200 bucks for a product. no way I will plop down 75 smackers for one card.

and who's to say you dont pull:

Pat Burrell and Ronny Paulino? Great for me but if i wasnt a Philly or Paulino fan i would just about quit the hobby.

Wow i'am really going to love the Ud black Basketball smile.gif
CardCraze
ill start up the time machine laugh.gif actually UD basketbvall was really limited, you had to0 get packs from redemptions.
bigalexx
75$ a pack 150$ for a box. Whats wrong with that. The UD Black packs were going for 80-85$.
CardCraze
1 card for 75 bucks? And like i said, if its not A-rod or something. Wow
artyman60
I dont think it will be as successful in baseball as it was for basketball
bigeric
Hmmm sounds interesting

as I do agree with you on that think about it this way...

ultimate collection...
roughly $100/pack (usually the price at my local hobby shop)
4 cards per pack with one being a memoirabilia..thats $25/card with only one being classified as a 'hit,' the rest just base.

they are revamping ultimate collection from what I hear, so the facelift will help this product without an increase in price...

Premier...
Prices from DA cardworld $275/pack for 7 cards
roughly $39/card.
Better bang for your buck, still almost $300/pack after shipping

Exquisite...
DA cardworld prices again...$920 for six cards...after the math it's about $153/card with one of those being a base. Sure Exquisite offers some of the best RC patch/auto's out there and also some great low #'d stuff, but for over $900/pack it makes it kind of hard to buy something of that price.

one card for $75 is a lot, but Upper Deck is not making you buy this product...its your choice! From what the basketball product looked like, it didn't look too bad, there were a ton of low #'d auto's/multiple auto's/patches/multiple jersey cards. Plus a lot of people seem to not care about base anymore, so this is just by passing the base and getting people the hit they desire, if it doesn't sell at $75 it will go down, but odds are it will.
